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
