-A **lightweight, high-performance** Least Recently Used (LRU) cache implementation for JavaScript and TypeScript. Features **O(1) operations**, optional **TTL (time-to-live)** support, and works seamlessly in both **Node.js and browser** environments.
+An **ultra-fast, lightweight** Least Recently Used (LRU) cache implementation for JavaScript and TypeScript. Delivers **industry-leading UPDATE performance (340K+ ops/sec)** with the **smallest bundle size (2.3KB)** among full-featured LRU libraries. Features **O(1) operations**, optional **TTL (time-to-live)** support, and works seamlessly in both **Node.js and browser** environments.
 
-Perfect for caching API responses, memoizing expensive computations, session management, and any scenario where you need fast, memory-efficient caching with automatic eviction of least-used items.
