WP-Cache Plugin is one of the top 10 plugin for WordPress Blog. Basically, it speeds up your site and if your blog has high traffic, it is recommended that you have it installed. Remember to delete cache if you edit your wordpress theme.

WP-Cache is an extremely efficient WordPress page caching system to make you site much faster and responsive. It works by caching Worpress pages and storing them in a static file for serving future requests directly from the file rather than loading and compiling the whole PHP code and the building the page from the database. WP-Cache allows to serve hundred of times more pages per second, and to reduce the response time from several tenths of seconds to less than a millisecond.

WP-Cache started from the ”’Staticize Reloaded”’ by matt and billzeller. Most of their recommendations also apply to WP-Cache. Current version, WP-Cache2, is a huge improvement over previous versions of WP-Cache.

WP-Cache is composed of two parts:

  1. Two-phases WordPress hooks. The first is called at the very begining –wp-cache-phase1.php– when just few code has been compiled. The second –wp-cache-phase2.php– after all plugins have been executed. The first phase checks if the requested URL is already cached, if so it serves from the static file and finishes. The second phase stores the generated page in a static file for further request.
  2. The WP-Cache plugin. This plugin configures and manages the whole process. It is easy to use and self-documented. It allows yoy to enable or disable cache, define expiration time for static pages, define rules for rejecting and accepting which URLs and php files can be cached, and shows and delete pages in cache.
