The Dollie platform tries to auto-detect the most popular WP caching plugins and auto implements container-level caching before WordPress is even loaded. This solution gives you the freedom to choose a caching plugin that works best for you, whilst still getting all the benefits of NGINX caching. Once a page is cached it is served directly through NGINX completely bypassing PHP and MySQL and thus resulting in near instant load times.

Do I need to install a caching plugin?
