I'm looking for a simple #Wordpress Cache plugin but after staring at the dozens of available candidates, I must admit I have no idea where to turn. I don't need an All-in-One SEO/PageSpeed/etc..., I just need a simple server-side cache that I can set up and forget. Memcached support is a plus as it's already available on my machine.
Any recommendation?
@hypolite Could you just run a reverse proxy like Nginx in front of it?
@TheCodeLorax [tech.lgbt] I’m already running Apache, maybe there’s something I can do about it directly in the web server software I’m already using? So far running nginx in front of Apache has sounded redundant to me, but I could be convinced otherwise.
@hypolite Most my knowledge of Apache is from the 1.3 days, so I don’t really know what to tell you about that. However, with Nginx acting as a reverse proxy in front of WordPress, I was able to hit 100k pages/second at a job a few years ago.
@TheCodeLorax [tech.lgbt] Thanks for the suggestion, is using nginx this way equivalent to using Varnish?
@hypolite I never used Varnish, but it looks comparable.
