WP Super Cache seems to be pretty popular.

I try to avoid using extra plugins if I can avoid them, so I feel it is better to just tweak your site to load faster by avoiding using really large image/video files that are hosted on the site, avoid web hosts like Godaddy (notorious for slow load times on WP sites) and limit plugins to the necessities.

Thanks

Hey Mr. Greg, what plugins do you use on your WP blogs, if you don't mind me asking? Right now, I have like around 20 or so plugins on each of my blogs, but I'm trying to become a "minimalist" like you, LOL!

Thanks

W3 Total Cache for the win!

Easy to set up, default settings work well, and has a host of options if you want to accelerate your site speed by using S3 to host your images.

Also, a host using Litespeed will perform better.

Hi,
In auto blog blueprint they recommend WP Super Cache however there is sometimes problems if you use plugins for amazon and eBay and it is recommended to switch to W3 Total Cache to avoid these problems.

W3 Total Cache and a CDN network.

Also combine Javascript & CSS.

Remove any unecessary plugins.

Smu**** your images.

Validate your code.

Compress your Javascript & CSS.

There are plugins that dosome of this this ie.e W3 total cache but it's better to manually do most of it.

Thanks

there is another one: hyper-cache but I couldnt find a difference between super-cache and hypercache - maybe w3 total is worth a shot...

Here are the links to the plugins:

WordPress › W3 Total Cache WordPress Plugins

WordPress › JR Compression WordPress Plugins

WordPress › WP Super Cache WordPress Plugins

Hyper Cache

I just wonder if could use the compression plugin and w3 total together?

Thanks

Hello Raymond,

I am currently using the ReviewAZON plugin on a few of my blogs. With that said, I will give W3 Total Cache a go, and hopefully it helps with load times.

Thanks for the info,
Gordon

WP Super Cache is one I've used, but basically to improve speed loading time, I eliminate plugins that I don't really need.

Hi,

I just went through my blog trying to tweak it and what I found worked the best was.

-Go through plugins and deactivate all that you do not need.
-go to tools.pingdom.com/ and type in your domain and do a search. This will give you the loading speed of your site but more interesting it will list everything on your site that it loads and the size of it. This will show you were you can optimize better (jpg's, js, css etc etc)

Using these quick things took away 33% off my loading time - Good stuff!

Good luck!

If you are using Firefox, you can also use the Firebug add-on.

Not a plugin, but I recently went from a VPS to cloud computing and ... POW! -- night and day difference. (I was having problems with Wordpress going crazy and hogging space way beyond what it was supposed to. So that's why I switched in the first place.)

Thanks

Wp Super Cache works pretty fine but of all the cache plug-ins I've used none surpasses W3 Total Cache with it's added CDN functionality.

Webmaster Tools now reports a site load time of 10 seconds for my blog all the way from 45 seconds. Simply amazing
