Long-form description

APC Object Cache Backend

An object cache is a place for WordPress and WordPress extensions to store the results of complex operations.

The APC Object Cache backend is also compatible with Batcache, the powerful full page caching engine that runs on WordPress.com Be sure to read the installation instructions, as this is not a traditional plugin, and needs to be installed in a specific location.

Staatic – Static Site Generator for WordPress

Staatic turns WordPress into a practical static site generator. Keep editing posts, pages, menus, media, and settings in WordPress, then publish a static copy made of HTML, images, CSS, JavaScript, and other assets. The public site can be served without WordPress, PHP, or a database in the visitor request path. That can improve performance, reduce origin load, and shrink the public attack surface while preserving the familiar WordPress editing workflow. This is especially useful for a private-origin, public-static setup: WordPress remains available for editors and publication work, while visitors receive prebuilt files from your chosen hosting target. Staatic includes the publication workflow and deployment methods needed to run a self-hosted static WordPress site.

Works with WordPress Multisite, WPML, and HTTP Basic Auth protected WordPress origins. Helps separate the public site from WordPress admin, plugin runtime, and database-backed page generation. Provides integration hooks and compatibility improvements for common WordPress setups.
