Speed up your WordPress blog with W3 Total Cache

Posted on August 29, 2009 by Stefan Siebel

W3 Total Cache is _the_ perfect plugin if you want to speed up your WordPress installation. It comes with whole bunch of cool features, some of the most important ones are:

  • Javascript and CSS minifier
  • gzipper
  • Caching through memcached or ACP
  • Easy usage of CDN’s

For now I’m just using the Minifier and gzipper for this blog, but that even helped to improve the page performance from C to A according to YSlow:
