Want to increase speed of your WordPress blog? Not happy with your current WordPress cache plugin? Try W3 Total Cache. Trusted by many popular and high traffic blogs, W3 Total Cache is a performance optimization plugin. Unlike other WordPress caching plugins, it improves overall site performance by improving your server performance, caching everything on your blog, reducing the download time of your theme pages and by providing transparent CDN (Content Delivery Network) integration. It not only reduced page load time, but also saves your bandwidth with the help of minify and HTTP compression of HTML, CSS, JavaScript and feeds.

Features of W3 Total Cache WordPress plugin:

• Caching of pages and posts in memory or on disk.
• Caching of feeds in memory or on disk.

Installation of W3 Total Cache is easy. Give 777 permission to your wp-content directory, upload it to plugins folder and activate from the “Plugins” page on your WordPress dashboard. Once activated, set permission of your wp-content folder back to 755. That’s it! Page caching will automatically start working in basic mode. Advanced options can be modified from the “Settings” section. W3 Total Cache requires no theme modifications or modifications of your .htaccess file. Note that for proper functioning, it requires at least WordPress 2.6 or later with PHP 5.

I am using W3 Total Cache on two of my blogs and I can say with confidence that it really works! It reduces page load time and saves a lot of my bandwidth. This plugin is compatible with all kinds of server environments such as shared hosting, virtual private or dedicated servers and dedicated servers or clusters. I recommend it to all.
