+## Оптимизация бэкенда

+> Рассмотрите гипотезу о том, что можно закешировать `<%= render "articles/single_story", story: story %>` в `_main_stories_feed.html.erb` и это даст заметный эффект. (В этот паршл входят счётчики лайков и комментариев, они не заморозятся?)
+
+Если использовать `story.cache_key`, то по идее не заморозятся, т.к. счётчик берётся из поля модели (`cache_counter`).
