Thanks this is a wonderful suggestion. My hosting provider gives me the
right to give writing access to certain folders and I guess that in rough
lines, caching means: writing data to a file on the server when a request is
made from a client?

Enough info to study the topic seriously, one more question. You say, with
a smiley though, one SQL request a day so it could mean that the very first
visitor tonight at 0:00 generates a SQL request and that request writes
"something" to the caching file , when the second visitor shows up at 0:05,
he get his data from that recently update file? Sorry to ask it in such a
simplified way but with all due respect to all these wonderful cms'es I want
to understand the topic as thoroughly as possible.
