WP super cache : Wordpress optimization plugin

in Wordpress plugin

Few days back we talked about Wordpress plugin : How many plugins we should use?

The basic idea of the last post was give you a picture that using lots of wordpress plugin might slow down your wordpress blog and in case if you are expecting lots of traffic, it’s better to disable few plugins to limit your SQL queries.

WP super cache wordpress plugin is one such plugin which helps you optimizing your database by generating static HTML files and which is use to serve the request. This way when any page is requested from your blog, static page will be served instead of processing all PHP scripts.

Specially if you are on shared hosting, where we have lots of limitations like no of processor usage at the single instance, the best advice is to optimize your wordpress blog before you will end up crashing your server or showing page loading error.

I already have this plugin installed but my page still takes around 26 seconds to load. Anything that I should do further to reduce load time?
