UPDATE: Added “index.php” to the no-cache field so the main portion of the site won’t be cached (thus keeping my plugin working), but the rest of the site (excluding deskcam as well) will be cached. I’m gonna try to find and fix the bug causing instant expiration of cached content with a expire value lower than 30000 seconds.
UPDATE 2: Decided to scrap WP-Cache for the time being…IMO not worth it since I run so many things that are updating live content. I don’t have any plans on getting a MAJOR boost of traffic anytime soon, that and my server is pretty powerful so it will handle the load, albeit a little slowly.
Saw a Digg article on how sucky Wordpress is when it gets “dugg,” one of a small handful of fixes include wp-cache. WP-Cache creates a cache (duh) of all pages you specify–by default all site content–and instead of executing the php code each time a visitor visits your site, it simply gives the visitor the cached content. This speeds up WP a TON on a Windows server. The only downside of this is my “Now listening to:” module goes kaput
If I set the cache to expire every 180 seconds (3 minutes), the pages instantly expire (bug most likely). If I set it to 30000, it doesn’t expire; But 30000 seconds = 500 minutes/8.3 hours. That means the website content updates once EVERY 8 HOURS! It sucks
Guess thats the price I pay for being hosted on a Windows box. Soon as I get a job I’m moving to my own VPS (or hell, even a full server!) running Debian
Goooo Apache2!!! Anyway, I just linked to the Windows compatible version of the plugin, for those on Linux hosting, do a search for wp-cache, its the first and second hit. WP is already pretty fast on Linux but with wp-cache its even more gravy ![]()
