Testing Two New Wordpress Plugins
Last night I received and email from HostGator saying that one of my blogs had been temporarily disabled due to excessive CPU usage. They recommended installing WP Super Cache. After installing it on that site, I decided to test it here too. I also installed WP Widget Cache. I’m hoping that those two plugins will dramatically reduce page load time and cut down on the server load.
WP Super Cache: This plugin generates static html files from your dynamic WordPress blog. After a html file is generated your webserver will serve that file instead of processing the comparatively heavier and more expensive WordPress PHP scripts.
WP Widget Cache: A high-performance caching plugin for WordPress, and a plus for WP-Cache or WP Super Cache!

In theory, this plugin would be great if it didn’t break things on the site.
1. The “Views” under each post title are dynamic and with a cached page, they didn’t increment correctly.
2. The number of subscribes would just show “N/A” instead of the correct number.
After disabling everything and reverting back to the way it was, it still doesn’t work right.Words to live by: “If it isn’t broken, don’t fix it.”
