WordPress is great, but I am sure most people would agree that it can be a bit sluggish at showing pages. There is a lot going on behind the scenes to generate all your dynamic blog goodness, however most of it does not need to happen for every single visit to your site.
There are lots of ways to speed up performance of websites, especially dynamically generated ones. One good one for most occasions is to use caching to save on the time required to create pages dynamically. Whilst revisiting an old post on a friends blog earlier, I saw him mention the wp-super-cache plugin. I have had a look at it and have to admit to becoming an overnight fan.
- Easy to setup and use.
- Works with WordPress-mu.
- Highly configurable.
- Massive decrease in resource use.
The fact it works in WordPress-mu was quite important to me as that is the system I use to enable me to add extra blogs on the server without having to keep adding more and more installations of WordPress
So if you are looking to speed up your WordPress installation or to reduce cpu resources used in serving high traffic WordPress sites, you should take a look at wp-super-cache.
Hat tip to Kura at syslog.tv for pointing out this plugin
