WordPress Cache 2.0

September 18th, 2006 No comments

WP-Cache 2.0 showed up on Digg today and with promises of speedy WordPress deliveries. Being the persistant software tester I am, I installed it onto this blog and immediatly saw the page load times at the bottom of the page get cut in half. I then installed it on LiveCDNews.com in hopes of speeding up that site in case of being Dugg again. Of course, having Apache configured to allow more than 150 people at a time on the site will help too.
