 * Reading [WP codex about Wp-Object-Cache](https://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Object_Cache)
   they say that WP_CACHE variable is not necesary unless you are using this plugin(
   list of plugins, this included):
 * >  Prior to WordPress 2.5, data stored using the wp_cache functions was stored
   > persistently if you added define(‘WP_CACHE’, true) to your wp-config.php file.
   > This is no longer the case, and adding the define will have no effect unless
   > you install a persistent cache plugin (see list below).
 * ([https://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Object_Cache](https://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Object_Cache))
 * is it still true?
