Why should install Full Page Cache?

Literally, Full Page cache relates to the storage of the full output of a page in a cache, so that in subsequent page loads will not require much server load at all.

Full Page cache extension is indispensable especially for enterprise level eCommerce sites with high-traffic visiting in order to keep server load as low as possible, and to avoid downtime during periods of high traffic. For instance, If 1000 users are visiting the site at once, memory capacity used with full page caching enabled is inappropriate in comparison to the server load caused by 1000 Users Magento at a time.

Throughly considered, Full page cache extension will increase site speed, since all the server needs to do is fetch and render the page from the cache.
