The System module allows users with the appropriate permissions to manage caching on the <a href='@cache-settings'>Performance settings page</a>. Drupal has a robust caching system that allows the efficient re-use of previously-constructed web pages and web page components. Pages requested by anonymous users are stored in a compressed format; depending on your site configuration and the amount of your web traffic tied to anonymous visitors, the caching system may significantly increase the speed of your site.
