 * A very basic question: What is this plugin for? Is it for serving a cached version
   of my WordPress site to end users? Is it for caching the WordPress backend/admin
   environment for logged-in users? Or something else?
 * It’s possible I’m not an advanced enough user to be able to use this plugin, 
   but in any case, for laypeople it would be really helpful to have some more information
   about its purpose.
 * Thanks!
    Peter

 * Its about to cache objects that PHP creates during the computation in order to
   serve a page.
 * Everytime a page is asked, a bunch of operations are made (to retrieve datas 
   from database, titles, contents…) there is no need to do all those things everytime.
   This plugin allows WP to store all those things in memory and, doing so, serving
   pages more faster.
 * Its not serving cached html pages, it caches the elements that WP assembles to
   create an HTML page.

 * Beside I can feel the pageload indeed faster, is there any method to verify whether
   it works or not?
    Thanks!

 * you could paste this into your footer.php (before the end of the HTML tag):
 * `<?php echo $wpdb->num_queries; ?> <?php _e('queries'); ?>. <?php timer_stop(
   1); ?> <?php _e('seconds'); ?>`
 * or use something more advanced like this: [http://www.viper007bond.com/2009/05/04/wordpress-code-snippet-output-advanced-page-generation-statistics/](http://www.viper007bond.com/2009/05/04/wordpress-code-snippet-output-advanced-page-generation-statistics/)
 * And you should be able to see the difference.
