Recently I updated the wp-supercache plugin. It’s a plugin for WordPress which is the blogging software that runs this site. Wp-supercache is used to cache pages and is very useful if this blog should happen to get Slashdotted.
Wp-supercache now supports the wp-mobile plugin. What isn’t obvious from the wp-supercache settings is that you need to install the wp-mobile plugin. Get it at http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-mobile-edition/ unzip it, and then read the included README.txt to configure it properly.
So, er, you’re at risk of being slashdotted then?!
Ye never know!
Well WP pages are usually dynamically created, which can use a lot of CPU. On the wee slice I have here at Dreamhost it’s a good thing to minimise CPU overhead. And it’s not like a blog posting changes often, so may as well cache as much as possible.
The mobile theme looks good on the iphone. I was looking into how to speed up my blog it looks like caching is a good solution. I will try it out.
