I’ve been ordered by the Queen to add another plugin. 
After reading on the WordPress Blog that The official site of the British Prime Minister’s Office is using the WP Super Cache I decided it was time to act.
For you the reader, the plugin makes the site load quickly. For the blog owner it reduces the load on your server.
It was an easy installation. After installing the WP Super Cache Plugin I went to the WP Super Cache Manager.
Under “WP Super Cache Status” I clicked “ON”
UPDATE: I’ve changed to “HALF ON” so the page will reset with the default hourly rather than after 100 requests. Based on info here from Rick Beckman.
Under “Super Cache Compression” I clicked “Enabled”
I could see experimenting with the “Expiry Time” if you had over 2500 page views a day. I’m under that unless you go tell ALL your friends to drop by.
“Cache contents” shows you how many pages you have currently cached and also those expired. After turning WP Super Cache on I browsed my site then came back and saw my cached pages go up. This is one way you know it is working. This is where you can Delete Expired and Delete Cache.
REMEMBER this if you install this plugin and then want to make changes to your home page, you may have to Delete Cache with every test of new changes to your blog.
I’ve taken the advice of the British Prime Minister’s Office and loaded WP Super Cache. Thanks for pointing this out WordPress Blog.

i love WP Super Cache Plugin but i dont want to use that plugin anymore.. need more storage using that plugins..
I noticed that you have the option to delete the old cached files. I can see Joel’s point that they have got to start adding up. I’ll keep an eye on my storage capacity and if I get too close this will be the first place I will go to “clean house.”
Thank for making this point Joel.
