We get a lot of individual and public inquiries about caching as it’s an important part of web usability and SEO – and obviously it just makes reading a blog a heckuva lot better when you don’t have to wait as long for things to load! One of the more popular solutions out there is WP Super Cache which can work on most hosts and server environments. But installing a caching plugin is just the first of many steps to make it optimal – you’re going to want to go through the settings and configure it so that it works […]

Security Alert: WP Super Cache and W3 Total Cache
Tony Perez over at Sucuri shared yesterday a significant vulnerability that’s landed among some of the top plugins used out there which also happen to be the top caching plugins for WordPress.
