The Servebolt HTML cache for Magento 2 maximises the performance and speed of Magento 2 under all conditions. In addition to making your website faster, it improves the ability to scale when your shop experiences heavy traffic.
What Servebolt M2Cache does
Magento 2 has a built-in cache system that should always be enabled. It also includes an HTML page cache, but this component is generally inefficient because it lacks several essential caching mechanisms.
With the Servebolt M2Cache plugin, two key improvements are introduced:
- Correct caching headers
The plugin enables Magento to produce proper caching headers in accordance with web standards. These headers allow downstream servers or any CDN (such as Cloudflare Business) to cache the generated HTML for subsequent requests. - Optimized browser caching
The headers are also adjusted to allow browsers to cache content for a defined period. This enables some requests to be served instantly from the visitor’s device, without any network traffic.
Faster, simpler and more efficient than Varnish
Users familiar with Varnish are aware of the challenges: crashes, maintenance, a lack of SSL support, and constant cache management overhead. It is extra software, adds complexity, and often performs poorly in e-commerce environments.
Servebolt’s hosting stack avoids these issues entirely. No additional caching layer is introduced. Instead, full-page HTML caching is handled directly by the high-performance Apache setup already serving your site, ensuring a more straightforward, more reliable, and more scalable caching solution.
