Today I will be covering the amazing plugin WP Super Cache. If you’re ever listed on the front page of Digg or some other popular social media website your going to get flooded with visitors, which in turn will put a lot of pressure on your server to keep up with all the requests. On every page view PHP and MySQL is called and things are executed, this can put a lot of strain on your server if you happen to have a lot of active users. This is where WP Super Cache comes in.
WP Super Cache reduces this strain by storing a static HTML version of the current pages and posts. This In turn means that MySQL is called fewer times thus reducing the strain. When the page changes, such as when someone comments or the post is altered, this HTML cache is simply updated.
I’ve also included benchmarks so you can compare the different options it has.
