SayPro Monthly January SCMR-5 SayPro Monthly Monthly Classified Caching: Implement caching solutions to enhance site speed by SayPro Classified Office under SayPro Marketing Royalty SCMR

Week 1:

Task: Review and Evaluate Current Caching Strategies

Objective: To enhance site performance and speed, the SayPro Classified Office under the SayPro Marketing Royalty SCMR is tasked with reviewing and evaluating the existing caching strategies. The goal is to identify bottlenecks and improvement opportunities, ensuring that the site operates efficiently.

Details of Tasks:

1. Review Current Caching Mechanisms:
   • Conduct a thorough audit of all existing caching strategies and tools implemented on the site.
     • Evaluate server-side caching solutions (e.g., Varnish, Redis, or Memcached).
     • Review front-end caching techniques, such as browser caching, JavaScript, and CSS caching.
     • Analyze the caching of database queries, API responses, and images.
   • Ensure that the caching solutions are aligned with the latest best practices.
2. Assess Site Performance:
   • Use performance measurement tools like Google PageSpeed Insights, GTmetrix, and Lighthouse to analyze the current speed of the classified site.
   • Focus on identifying slow-loading pages, large files, or inefficient database queries that may be contributing to site latency.
3. Identify Caching Gaps and Inefficiencies:
   • Pinpoint areas where the current caching strategy might be underperforming.
     • Review how often the cache is refreshed and whether the cache expiration policy is optimal.
     • Check for any content that should be cached but is not.
     • Evaluate any inconsistencies between cached and dynamic content that may be affecting user experience.
4. Benchmark Key Site Metrics:
   • Identify specific performance metrics to benchmark the site’s speed before and after implementing improvements. These could include load time, TTFB (Time to First Byte), and Core Web Vitals.
   • Document the current baseline performance metrics as the foundation for tracking improvements.
5. Gather Feedback from Stakeholders:
   • Meet with key team members (e.g., developers, marketing, and IT) to gather feedback on any existing issues or bottlenecks related to caching and site speed.
   • Collect data from user experience tests to understand how caching inefficiencies may be affecting customer interactions on the site.
6. Research Best Practices and New Solutions:
   • Explore new caching strategies and solutions that may help to further optimize site speed.
     • Investigate edge caching (CDN solutions like Cloudflare, Fastly).
     • Look into implementing more aggressive caching for certain sections of the site (e.g., categories, individual ads).
     • Review updates on caching algorithms and protocols that could be applied.
7. Documentation and Reporting:
   • Prepare a detailed report documenting:
     • Current caching strategies.
     • Identified areas for improvement.
     • Recommendations for optimization based on performance reviews and research findings.
   • Ensure that this report is ready for discussion with relevant stakeholders at the end of Week 1, offering actionable insights for the next phase of implementation.

Deliverables for Week 1:

• Comprehensive evaluation report on current caching strategies.
• Performance benchmarks and comparison to best practice standards.
• List of identified inefficiencies and areas for caching improvements.
• Recommendations for enhancements and further testing.
