Oops, I didn’t have caching turned on

My blogs, especially this one, haven’t been very robust in the face of increasing traffic volume.  A few minutes ago DBMS2 was down again, and my hosting company called me out for being a resource hog and asked me to optimize.

It turns out that while I’d installed and activated the WP-Cache plug-in, I’d never actually turned caching on. This is now changed. But that means you may see cached pages instead of live ones, e.g. missing responses to your comments.  The cache is currently configured to flush every 10 minutes, but that setting could of course change. I plan to make the same change on all five blogs.

Anyhow, please let me know if you have any problems that seem related to caching.  (Also, if anybody has any experience differentiating between WP-Super Cache (the other main option) and WP-Cache, I’d love to hear about it.

Thanks!  And thanks also for causing these query volume problems in the first place! 🙂
