Vendi Cache = Lightweight, Falcon Fast!
Hello WP Lovers, First off, I have No connection to the makers of VC. I actually "signed up" a new account here so i could login and rave about VC. They deserve it. Should be #1, honestly, as the rest are either bloated or confusing or both. Over the years I've tried them all, from Rocket to WTC3 to you-name-it-plugin AND I've also used many different codes to avoid using an extra plugin. The problem with using codes to your .htaccess file is that themes change, the web changes and in the end there will be a glitch on your end sooner or later. So, get a clean coded theme, use LIGHT plugins, try Autoptimize + Optimize DB + Leverage Browser Caching + Vendi Cache and YOU WILL see a much faster site. A lazy load plugin will also help as photos are the #1 slower downer of your site. Getting your photos optimized is the #1 pro thing to do to speed up your site. Several plugin options out there OR resize/crunch them yourself. Vendi Cache used to be included in the Wordfence security plugin and boy did it speed things up. Then WF got bloated and slow--not sure how they are now--and they removed "Falcon" cache. So, now Falcon has reappeared as Vendi Cache and IMO it is the BEST cache plugin for 99% of websites. Try it for yourself using GTMetrix.com to A/B your site speed w and w/o Vendi. Cheers!

Easy Caching solution
This has got to be the easiest drop in cache solution available. Works as expected without pages and pages of options.

Excellent drop in replacement - Falcon running Nginx
We love Falcon and WordFence of course! We are running WP Network on Nginx and was able to drop in Vendi with no additional config. So grateful for the standalone, thanks everyone.

Excellent drop-in replacement
Vendi Cache is an excellent drop-in replacement for Wordfence caching. I was very happy to hear Vendi offered this as I have been using the Falcon cache and really wanted to just keep using what I had in the past. Thank you!
