The caching system in Joomla allows for faster page load speeds. Instead of recreating every last little bit of each page each time it is called for, the caching system takes snapshots (if you will) of sections or even whole pages.

This cuts down on the time it takes to draw each page on your site as visitors request them within the period of time you set your cache items to expire. How to enable caching in the Joomla configuration is what today's Maintenance Monday is all about.

How to remove BAK_ backup tables from your Joomla Database is what today's #maintenancemonday is all about.
