Update Plugin description

Thanks for opening a support topic @wpdynamics. While there are links to the individual modules/plugins within the Performance Lab dashboard, you make a good point on adding a link and improving on the description within the plugins WordPress repository. I’ll pass this feedback on to the team and see if we can improve this.

One thing the plugin seems to do is extend WP_Cache. Please add a clear description which caches are used, Opcache, Browser Cache, Page Cache, …

Independently, without any additional plugins activated, the plugin mainly provides various opportunities’ for performance improvements, by adding these as flags to a users Site Health status (Tools > Site Health). The plugin is also an official WordPress team plugin, meaning many new features may start out here, before making their way to WordPress core.

With regards your query on extending WP_Cache, the plugin does anything specifically with a users caching environment other than adding flags to a users Site Health status, such as a mention whether a persistant object cache is used. You’ll find all related flags by looking for the “Performance” label when checking your Site Health status.

If you’re interested in learning more about the plugin, you can also reach out in the Core Performance Slack channel, or get involved on the plugins GitHub repo.
