    I need to reduce my CPU usage on my shared server.. should I enable or disable “Super Cache Compression”?

    If I understand this right,
    ‘enabled’ makes the load times quicker but increases CPU usage
    ‘disabled’ makes load times slower but decreases CPU usage

    Hope someone can help.

    Thanks

  • You should enable compression. The plugin compresses the page once when cached so every time the page is served it’s already compressed.

    I had used zlib in my them header prior to upgrading to the wp super cache plugin,

    <?php
ini_set(’zlib.output_compression’, ‘On’);
ini_set(’zlib.output_compression_level’, ‘1’);
?>

    Is this redundant, advisable or not? Can it all work together? -sort of beyond my comprehension.

    Any input would be gladly received.

    You’re better off using compression in the plugin as the PHP compression will compress the page every time it’s requested. The plugin will compress it once and save it compressed. Saving your CPU.

    I’m trying to get rid of the Super Cache plugin, but can’t. I get this message:

    I get a message telling me it has to be set to a non-blank value to be removed.

    Please help!
