WordPress.org user, “definitelynot” discovered a bug in the WordPress plugin, WP Super Cache that could expose blogs to duplicate content penalties. Unfortunately this affects every blog that uses the plugin in “ON” or full “Super Cache” mode, and has URLs that end with the “/” (forward slash) character. If the plugin is on “half on” [...]
WP Super Cache is a plugin for WordPress that creates cached copies of your blog posts and pages, making your site much faster to serve. It’s also ideal for coping with sudden surges of traffic. I released a new version of the plugin this morning. This is a bugfix release: Mike Beggs contributed a number [...]
You may have heard that the official site of the British Prime Minister’s Office at number10.gov.uk launched earlier today. The great news is that it’s running WordPress, but what really excited me is the fact that the site is also using WP Super Cache. The site was initially very slow, but once the cached static [...]
A few people stumbled across a strange bug in WP Super Cache. If your index.php was cached by the plugin then feeds or other pages that hadn’t been cached would show the front page! A simple way to fix this is by adding “index.php” to the list of rejected URIs, but then it won’t be [...]

Version 0.5.1 of WP Super Cache is now available! This release of the plugin will be especially useful for Digg and Slashdot users who experience really huge traffic spikes. This post has been dugg! Add your Digg here! I doubt it’ll get anywhere near the front page at this stage as it’s only collected 3 [...]
Now, that’s why you can’t believe benchmarks. Sure, this server was able to serve 100,000 page views in 282 seconds but: Requests were made from a VPS in the same datacenter. No need to worry about slow clients, or maintaining network connections to many remote clients. I used Litespeed Web Server instead of Apache. Was [...]
