How do I setup WP-SuperCache?

Solution WP Super Cache is an available plugin for Wordpress installations to store cached versions of your dynamic PHP pages. Installing WP Super Cache can also reduce the number of compute cycles used by a site since it reduces the load on the cluster as well.

WP Super Cache is available at http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-super-cache.
Install WP Super Cache

To install WP Super Cache, follow the instructions provided for the plugin found here:

http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-super-cache/installation/

In addition to the instructions included with the manual, the following additional changes are required:

* Modify the wp-content/wp-cache-config.php file:
o Uncomment "$use_flock = true;"

Testing Your Installation

If any errors were made in your installation process, your WP Super Cache installation might not be working, and you might not even know it. It could actually increase your CC consumption if it's not working properly. Here is how to verify proper operation:

1. Logout of WordPress and remove any cookies associated with it. By default WP-SuperCache does not cache for registered users or admins.
2. Browse to your site
3. Press your "Reload" or "Refresh" button on your browser twice.
4. View the HTML source code for the page, and look at the last few lines.

If you see output like this, then it's working:





Make sure the "super cache" comment is present at the end of the page source on the subsequent visits to confirm proper operation. If you're not seeing this text, it means that WP Super cache is wasting resources by regenerating a new cached version of the page on every single visit to your site.

To fix this, start over with these instructions from the Before You Begin section and pay close attention to every detail. It's easy to make a very small error that causes WP Super Cache to not work at all. We want your site to be as fast and efficient as possible. It's good for us, and good for you!
