Ahmet2106/pico-navigation. Cache plugin for Pico CMS. If you use the Pico CMS for a mostly static blog, like I do, there is no need to parse the markdown files and render the twig templates on every request.
Therefore I made the Pico Cache plugin. I did some testing and it turns out that the cache plugin speeds up the page pretty well. With one user at a time, the average response time was 315ms without cache and 10ms with cache enabled. (97% less time) Having 100 concurrent users, the average response time without cache was 14640ms and with cache 267ms. (98% less time) I repeated this tests 1000 times on a fairly old macbook, so the actual values are not that convincing, but rather the response time savings in percentage. Installation To install the Pico Cache plugin, simply download the pico_cache.php from GitHub and put it in the plugins directory {picoInstallation}/plugins/.
