Full-Page Cache
With full-page caching, category, products, CMS pages will be rendered faster, improving response time and reducing the load on the server. Pages can be read directly from the cache. Without caching, each page may need to run blocks of code and retrieve information from the database.
Magento provides two options:
- Built-in Cache.
- Varnish Caching.

Cached content can be used to handle requests from visitor types. The pages that are visible to the customer will be different from the casual visitor. It is divided into 3 types:
- Non-sessioned.
