Booster - Smart cache for Enonic sites

Contents

Supercharge sites rendered with the Enonic framework

About

Booster caches pages rendered with the Enonic framework/site engine. It is useful for sites that have a lot of traffic, or simply for getting faster pages.

Booster is built to be highly effective, without the typical side-effects of html caching - meaning it will automatically determine what content can be cached, and automatically invalidate cache when content is published.

Booster will not work without a valid Enonic license

Ignore booster if

If you are using 3.rd party front-end frameworks, or doing heavy server-side personalization - Booster is probably not relevant.
