    Dude, 'caching' a WP site just makes it render a plain HTML site which it then spits out instead of it's typically-PHP-generated ones — all you're adding on top is a single DB call to check which version of the page it should deliver.

    Once you've 'cached' your site, the speed it's delivered at becomes not a function of WP's ability to generate pages, rather how you've built the page in the first place and what it does there after - ie. image size, loaded fonts, JS renders, etc etc.

    • oh yeah? this changes everythingpinkfloyd
    • Sorry, I should've specified - "it renders a plain html PAGE" - ie. just the bits you dictate as being cached, not necessarily the whole site.detritus
    • server side compression, cached & minified htmlcssjs are the winners.sted
    • got any samples off hand of a wp site that loads fast? I need to see to believepinkfloyd
    • http://444.hu/sted
    • but i don't know how fast it is in the us.
      http://capitalhedge.…
      this one isn't using any cache or minify just an optimized server      sted
    • this is also non-cached and bellow 4sec load:
      http://www.bernardus…      sted
    • the 444.hu loaded fast, but the capitalhedge was too slowpinkfloyd
    • bernard was decentpinkfloyd
    • capitalhedge sux sometimes because we had to integrate a 3rd party api and it's sometimes takes 3secs to load the data. (fucking activecampagin never use that)sted
    • 444.hu is fast as hellpinkfloyd
    • that's wp-cache, and optimized functions, (removed wordpress junk, and special assets folder, and the entire site is just text with some images)sted
    • https://www.smashing… runs on WP. very fast.monNom
    • geez smashingmags html looks like crap :)sted
    • It's all optimizations, I did a workshop with Vitaly where he discussed it. All files necessary to render the front page are pushed down in the first 14kbmonNom
    • Which is an ethernet frame or packet or something. Everything else gets patched up afterward via ajax.monNom
