 * A simple question. Since I use the disk page cache, does it make sense to also
   use the Apache cache (ie mod_cache)?
 * I’m trying to decrease server load and from what I understood, I might as well
   get rid of the Aoache’s cache. This is how I do it in Apache:
 *     ```wp-block-code
       <IfModule mod_cache.c>    CacheQuickHandler off    CacheLock on    CacheLockPath "/apache/cache/mod_cache-lock"    CacheLockMaxAge 5    CacheIgnoreHeaders Set-Cookie    <IfModule mod_cache_disk.c>        CacheRoot "/apache/cache/mod_cache_disk"        CacheEnable disk "/"        CacheDirLevels 2        CacheDirLength 2    </IfModule></IfModule>
       ```
   
 * From what I see, the Apache directories are getting quite big due to mod_cache,
   so if the plugin is already doing the disk cache job, I think I might as well
   remove the Apache’s. Any thoughts?
 * Thank you.
