Pods Alternative Cache is a caching engine designed for websites running on hosting platforms that impose strict limits on standard object caching. It is particularly useful for developers and site administrators who need to maintain performance when the primary cache is constrained.

• Flexible Storage Options: Choose between file-based or database-based caching to match your server's configuration and performance needs.
• Hosting Environment Focus: Developed and tested specifically for platforms like WPEngine to address their object caching limitations.
• Developer API: Includes functions like pods_cache_set and pods_cache_get that mirror core caching APIs, allowing for easy integration into custom themes and plugins.
• Manual Control: Clear the cache directly from the admin area or define constants to disable the cache, switch its type, or change the storage directory.
• Isolated Performance: Stores Pods-generated cache objects separately from the main object cache, preventing eviction and reducing erratic query loads on page generation.
