4. What are modules in the design?

Consider every major components in your website as a module. The module name will decide the base URL, and the function name will be the secondary URL for the generated website.

Smart cache enable caching portion of the web page. For example when we use some user specific variable such as Name of the user in our web page we can't cache the portion which display the name of the user but we need to cache other part of the page. Using smart cache library which is generated by our self we have achieved it. You can test this by doing a search on the generated website. When second time same query is search the data is retrieved cache. When the result contains more page every page will be cached when it is viewed first time.
