Subject: [PATCH] Use database caching per site for an hour using timeout of
 3600 on non development environments which will use Dummy Caching
 (https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/4.1/topics/cache/#dummy-caching-for-development)

Site wide cache will stored in cache_table, to run this initially the
command of `python manage.py createcachetable` will need to be run after
the deployment of this feature.
