README

Magento 2 extension that reduces the number of cache keys by removing catalog_product_view_id_, catalog_product_view_sku_, catalog_category_view_id_ layout handles by default,

This means that you lose the option to have product/category specific layout handles (both through the use of XML files in your installation and through the use of Design > Layout and Design > Custom Layout Update on the category and product edit pages in the admin), unless you re-enable them via the configuration.

Configuration: Stores -> Configuration -> Vendic -> Optimize Cache Size

Installation

composer require vendic/module-optimize-cache-size
