JotCache offers page caching in the Joomla 1.5 search framework, resulting in fast page downloads. It also provides control over what content is cached and what is not. In addition, page caching is supported by the System Cache Plugin that comes with Joomla. The WP-SuperCache plug-in optimizes performance by generating static HTML files from database-driven content for faster load times.
