Abstract
Building pages for dynamic web sites requires numerous trips to the database to retrieve information about saved content, site settings, the current user, and so on. Saving the results of these expensive operations for later use is one of the easiest ways within the application layer to speed up a sluggish site. Drupal’s built-in caching API does this automatically for most core data and provides a number of tools for Drupal developers who want to leverage the API for their own purposes.
