No, Shifty is an optimization plugin. With Shifty you can optimize pages even without caching, however for the best results it is recommended to use a cache plugin as well.

With other plugins usually you can set simple rules only. With WP Shifty you can define complex rulesets - scenarios - easily, to specify where the configured rules should be applied. You can easily combine conditions, but also can use all condition types like an exception.

For better speed, page caching is generally recommended. However, WP Shifty is an excellent tool that can speed up even uncached pages. On this site, page caching is intentionally not being used for demonstration purposes.
