3. WP Super Cache

WP Super Cache currently has over two million active installations. While I don't advocate following the lead of others, numbers like this are usually a good indicator of quality.

The plugin is also completely free. It is a great choice if you are hesitant about spending on a WordPress plug-in.

There are three types of caching options available for the plugin:

 Simple

 Expert

 WP-cache caching

Simple mode is most likely sufficient for most people. A custom permalink is required, but it's much simpler to set up and does not require you to modify your .htaccess file. Most web pages will remain dynamic even with simple caching.

Expert mode, as you may have guessed is a little more complicated. This setting is not recommended if you aren't an expert in web development and coding. You should not modify these files if you don't understand what you are doing.

WP-cache mode is used for caching content for known site visitors. This mode is great for users who log in, leave comments, or require custom content.

You can choose to keep things simple if you don't wish to make things too complicated.

However, WP Super Cache offers so many options that it is one of the most popular WordPress caching plugins.

4. Hyper Cache

Hyper Cache was created with WordPress blogs as a focus. It works on all blogs without the need for any complicated configurations. Hyper Cache optimizes bandwidth and speeds up page loading speed for your WordPress blog.

Hyper Cache is easy to install and it takes very little time. This plugin is great for beginners who don't need to know how to manage many cache settings. Once you've installed it, there is no need to make any changes after the initial configuration.

Hi Jim,
Thanks for this tutorial. I have been using WP Rocket for quite some time now, and I’m very happy with it. I like how it does so much, it’s really an all in one plugin. It’s simple and easy for someone non-technical like me.

Hi Jenny
Do you have your site or sites hosted at siterubix?
If you do, are you able to say how much of a difference WP Rocket makes over the normal siterubix speeds, please?
:-)

Hi Richard,
I host my site here with WA, and have sitespeed set to extreme. My mobile speed is 98-99 and desktop is 100.
Individual pages are 98-99 for mobile and desktop 100.
Before WP rocket it was in the high 80’s for mobile.
