This is the one you’re looking for.

So simple! Works so well!

Even with many years’ web development experience, I really struggled with other optimizing and caching plugins. Further, none seemed to actually work on my overwhelmed shared-hosting server. So frustrating.

As a last-ditch resort, I finally tried WP Fastest Cache, and not only was it super easy to set up, but it reduced my server load from maxed-out 78 times per day (resulting in 500 errors), to zero! Works fantastic!

My advice on the settings: Click to “enable” the plugin on it’s settings page!

Then, click for all the other boxes offered — except that some depend on whether your homepage (or other pages), are automatically changed when a new post is created (as in a “our latest posts” area).

If so, make sure the cached homepage (or all-the-pages) are cleared when a new post is created. Either way, unless your site has hundreds of posts, it shouldn’t be a big deal either way.

If your site is really dynamic, with info coming from elsewhere automatically (and not from created posts), then set some rules for the cache to be recreated every so often, as needed.

Thank you, developer!
