DrupalCon Amsterdam 2014: Render Caching in Drupal 7 and 8

This talk focuses on improving website performance through render caching in Drupal, specifically highlighting enhancements available since Drupal 7 and further refined in Drupal 8. The speakers, Wim Leers and Marco Fabian, demonstrate how the render_cache module simplifies creating fast websites with automatic content expiration by allowing the rebuilding of only the changed site parts, which significantly benefits authenticated user pages. Key topics include the advantages of cache tags exclusive to Drupal 8, alternative caching strategies for Drupal 7, and techniques for controlling caching behaviors effectively in both versions. Attendees will gain insights on optimizing their sites and will be motivated to implement these strategies immediately.
