What is WP Super Cache?
This plugin generates static HTML files from your dynamic WordPress blog. After a HTML file is generated your web server will serve that file instead of processing the comparatively heavier and more expensive WordPress PHP scripts.
The static HTML files will be served to the vast majority of your users:
- Users who are not logged in.
- Users who have not left a comment on your blog.
- Or users who have not viewed a password protected post.
99% of your visitors will be served static HTML files. One cached file can be served thousands of times. Other visitors will be served custom cached files tailored to their visit. If they are logged in, or have left comments those details will be displayed and cached for them.
Comments and Reviews
Major speedup for the typical use case. I've been using this caching plugin since before Automattic took over management. Since I don't get very much in the way of comments on my site, the vast majority of hits are anonymous and don't change what should be on the page next time, so a static cache helps a lot. Works on ClassicPress, too!
