Making WordPress faster - WP Super Cache: What's the benefit?

WP Super Cache actually works like a Browser-Cache, i.e. a cache for files, which aims to ensure that every user has to reload as few files as possible when surfing a website. This makes surfing faster and improves performance. The user therefore surfs more comfortably.
On the other hand, website operators and internet providers are also happy because less bandwidth is used. One direct effect is that more users can access the website simultaneously and quickly because the server has fewer file accesses.

Each element of the website causes one or more server accesses when the page is called up. If a cache is interposed, these accesses are reduced.
