TL;DR

AI summary of the plugin's readme

This plugin is for Pods Framework users on hosts with limited or no object caching, such as WPEngine. It solves the problem of Pods-generated cached objects being evicted or performing poorly by providing dedicated file-based or database-based caching separate from other WordPress caching.
