customaze Pre Cache Tool
When the web server has been restarted or hasn't been used for a few hours, our add-ons need a considerable amount of time to initialize. This can take between 15 and 30 seconds.
Use this free Pre Cache Tool to reduce this startup time. The installation is very easy and the effect is dramatic.
