As you add more & more articles, pictures, links to your blog or you have quite a lot of visitors to your blog, you will notice that it takes longer time to fully load all the items. Well, depending on the visitors bandwidth speed. For those that are using a slower speed bandwidth, it will take a while for your visitor to start reading the blog. Blog readers are an impatient lot. They will not wait if it takes longer than usual to fully load.

Therefore if you want to maintain goodwill with your visitors, you need to improve the access time, your visitor can start to view your blog.

That’s where WP Super Cache comes in.

This is how it works:-

In laymen term

- This plugin makes your site download much faster and responsive. It works by caching Worpress pages and storing them in a static file for serving future requests.

In technical term

-WP Super Cache is a static caching plugin for WordPress. It generates html files that are served directly by Apache without processing comparatively heavy PHP scripts. By using this plugin you will speed up your WordPress blog significantly.

When WP Super Cache is installed, html files are generated and they are served without ever invoking a single line of PHP. How fast can your site serve graphic files? That’s (almost) as fast it will be able to serve these cached files. If your site is struggling to cope with the daily number of visitors, then this plugin is for you.
