Hi,

"Caching" is a term you've probably heard mentioned before in various places . The idea behind caching is to store a copy of some piece of data so you can re-use it again later without jumping through whatever hoops you had to go through the first time to get it. There are different ways you can cache data (queries, objects, etc) and different medium in which you can store the cache (files, database, memory). Any way you do it, the main goal of caching is to increase the performance of your site or application. In many cases caching is used to lessen the amount of interaction with the database, which increases performance and decreases the load on your server.
