Add WP Super Cache to speed up your Wordpress site

Procédure

What is caching?

Caching web pages reduces the bandwidth used by your website and also the load on a web server. Caching allows your site to be displayed more quickly and to be better referenced by the main search engines.

How do you add the WP Super Cache module to your Wordpress site?

1. Connect to the dashboard of your website and identify yourself with the parameters received by email.

2. Go to the"Extensions" link in the left-hand column and click on"Add" to install the WP Super Cache module.

3. In the search bar at the top right, look for the"WP Super Cache" module. By default, it is already activated on LWS shared hosting packages. Click on the"Activate" button if the module is already installed. If not, the"Activate" button will be replaced by the"Install" button.

Setting up and activating the WP Super Cache extension

1. To set up and activate WP Super Cache, click on the"Settings" tab and then on"WP Super Cache".

2. Click on the Radio button"Caching Enabled (recommended)" and then on Update Status to start caching your Wordpress website.

3. The"Contents" section of the WP Super Cache settings allows you to delete the cache you have or out-of-date files. If you make major changes to your website, it is essential to empty the cache files so that you can see the changes. If you forget to empty the cache, the changes will not be accessible until the cache is automatically updated.

4. You can preload the cache files and request them to be updated every X minutes. In most cases, for sites where certain pages change regularly, the setting is 2 to 6 hours. These are the settings often recommended by Google Page Speed.

Conclusion

You can now install WP Super Cache on Wordpress to display your site faster with LWS.
