Cache plugins

I’ve avoided using Caching plugins to date. But now it’s time to look into them.

wp-green-cacheNo info available  
First choice: wp-super-cache since it was updated most recently, supports the current version of WordPress AND it’s very popular. Second choice: I think I’ll look at wp-green-cache

Post Scriptum

wp-green-cache produced a Fatal error on activation… which wasn’t a good start. It was having trouble with a file called options.dat.

PS. 3 June 2014

Two years on and I still haven’t decided which cacheing plugin to use. I know I tried one somewhere. Just can’t remember where. I’m looking again since I think I might want to speed up wp-a2z.com Also, I noticed that herbmiller.me was a bit slow yesterday… probably something to do with running [bw_plug] on the home page. So for time being

PPS. 19 Dec 2014

Needed to activate a cacheing plugin on oik-plugins. I chose wp-super-cache for 3 reasons
  1. It’s by Automattic
  2. Currently most popularMost recently updated
But I’m also updating my trace routine to gather my own summary information.
