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.

Yes we are using w3 total cache now.
harsh plz help me..i m confused between wp super cache and wp total..i m absolute newbie
plz have a look at my site and suggest which will be better..my site loading timing sucks at the moment 
Deepanshu W3 total cache is better now as they have added lots of options..
If you have super cache installed, I would suggest uninstall it completely and then install W3 total cache.
You can use this post as a reference for Installing w3 total cache:
