Caching for a snappier website.

When a WordPress page loads normally, it goes through:

 1. PHP execution
 2. Database queries (often 20-50+ queries)
 3. Theme processing
 4. Plugin execution
 5. HTML generation

With Snappy file-based caching, it skips all that and just serves a static HTML 
file.

Estimates for performance improvement:

 * 2x faster is conservative and achievable for most sites
 * 5x faster is realistic for database-heavy sites
 * 10x faster is possible for poorly optimized sites with many plugins

#### Advanced Version

Snappy is fully capable with its core caching capability, but if you want or need
additional optimization and control, advanced settings are available at [snappywp.me](https://snappywp.me/).

 * HTML, CSS, and JavaScript minification
 * GZIP compression
 * Lazy loading for images and videos
 * Video embed optimization (YouTube/Vimeo facades)
 * Font preloading
 * Database cleanup (spam, revisions, transients)
 * Automatic weekly database optimization
 * Cache preloading from sitemap
 * Defer JavaScript with exclusions
 * Critical CSS extraction and inlining
 * WordPress Heartbeat control
 * Resource hints (preload, prefetch, DNS-prefetch)
 * Browser caching headers via .htaccess
 * Security headers (X-Frame-Options, CSP, etc.)
 * Cloudflare integration with optimized settings
 * CDN integration with URL rewriting
 * Settings import/export
 * Self-hosted update system
