Hi,

I'm building my own site using Drupal.
I've spent the day modifying the frontpage, www.raplom.com, to open quickly (or at least faster...ly...)

I'm using Firebug and YSlow to see how I''m doing and I've noticed a peculiarity.

Under the statistics section of YSlow my site has a http request of 34 and 282.1K on an empty cache. On a primed cache the http request is still 34 and the weight is 241.9K.

Drupal.org has 44requests/429K on an empty but, amazingly, 1request/8K on a primed cache.

How can I improve the primed cache of my site? i.e. Make my site cache like drupal.org.

I've searched for help on this but found nothing, thanks in advance for any pointers and advice.

drupal.org may use a 3rd party caching mechanism like memcache.

Thanks, I'll look into that.
Does memcache, or similar, force caching on the client side?
I think that the primed cache is the cache of a page on a client computer after the initial visit. Would one of these 3rd part caching tools help that?

Thanks again
