<div align=justify>WP Super Cache is a static caching plugin for WordPress. It generates html files that are served directly by Apache without processing PHP scripts that are almost always heavy. By using this plugin you will significantly speed up your WordPress blog.

Once you have it  installed, html files will be generated and served without ever invoking a single line of PHP. Also the graphic files on your site will be served much faster. If your Wordpress blog is having difficulties to cope with the daily number of visitors then this plugin will be of great help to you.


<center>'''Download and Install'''</center>

* Remove any existing instances of WP Cache. Make sure the following files are deleted: '''''wp-content/advanced-caching.php''''' and '''''wp-content/wp-cache-config.php'''''. Also comment out the '''''WP_CACHE define''''' in '''''wp-config.php'''''.

* Download the latest version of the [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-super-cache/download/ WP Super Cache plugin] and follow the instructions contained in the readme.txt file.

* After the installation, go to the WP Super Cache options page and set your desired cache time.



<center>'''How it works'''</center>

When a visitor who is not logged in, or who has not left a comment, visits your blog, they will get a static HTML page out of the supercache subdirectory. If you go to that directory you'll be able to view an exact copy of your permalink structure as well as the HTML files within the directories.

To check whether a page has been cached, view the source and the last lines on the page should look something like this:

    <!-- Dynamic Page Served (once) in 0.759 seconds -->
    <!-- Cached page generated by WP-Super-Cache on 2011-11-07 16:11:54 -->
    <!-- Compression = gzip -->

You’ll only see the last line if compression is enabled.

You can check whether your compression is working properly at ismyblogworking.com. It will also show how fast your blog is loading now.



<center>'''Features'''</center>

* Meta files go in their own directory and, therefore, make scanning and updating the cache much faster.

* Includes this WP-Cache and protected posts fix.

* Automatically disables gzip compression in WordPress.

* A “lock down” button which locks down the static cache files and doesn’t delete them when a new comment is made.

* Regenerating Supercache static files will significantly lower the load.

* Automatic update of your .htaccess file. (It is strongly recommended to backup your .htaccess before installing the plugin)

* Better version checking of wp-cache-config.php and advanced-cache.php (if you’re using an old one).
