   Can Anyone give any advice or recommendations on a good caching plugin.
   I am currently on a shared hosting account so some access is restricted for certain plugins.
   Cheers

   @Jeremy
   I've heard a lot of good talk about:

   WP-Cache: http://www.google.dk/url?sa=t&source=web&ct=res&cd=3&ved=0CBIQFjAC&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fextend%2Fplugins%2Fwp-cache%2Finstallation%2F&ei=vXn5SsaQAoGA4gaK-Zm8Cw&usg=AFQjCNHUo7j1OgNR3069FWa-0SA831CN3g&sig2=y_OBOBfaAn7ZfMRtkxkGuw

   WP Super Cache: http://www.google.dk/url?sa=t&source=web&ct=res&cd=2&ved=0CAoQFjAB&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fextend%2Fplugins%2Fwp-super-cache%2F&ei=vXn5SsaQAoGA4gaK-Zm8Cw&usg=AFQjCNEFx5m5xxjiE3e3fip9fzcNhM84Bg&sig2=lCs5BfdCsMdTTlxIwpUByg

   There's also an interesting (new?) cache plugin:

   WP Cache is no longer updated (not since 2007)and I would NOT suggest you use it!

   I use WP Super Cache (better link) - http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-super-cache/ - I really want to say that WP should be FINE without a cache, but ... I get hit by the SlashDot/Digg effect often enough that even optimizing my VPS to an inch of it's life wasn't helping my CPU spikes.

   I've heard interesting things about Hyper Cache: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/hyper-cache/

   Get a list here: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/tags/caching

   Experiment! :)

   I've got a lot of experience using WP Super Cache and it does a really good job. Just read about W3 Total Cache and know that yoast.com uses that. They are a highly trafficed site and very WordPress konwledgable.

   Check out their latest post on their server configuration: http://yoast.com/wordpress-hosting/ I found it helpful.

   I do not like wp-super-cache, though I've used it when I've had to.

   My reasons:

   1) The use of the Widget Logic is finicky with cacheing.
   2) Also, wp-super-cache sometimes locks up my site(s).

   Like Wardeh I also had some bad experiences with WP Super Cache.

   This might be my own fault, I mean Donncha O Caoimh is developing it, and he's one of the main drivers of WP MU. :-)

   I've been using W3 Total Cache on a blog which has around 1200 visitors a day. And I am running it on shared hosting, a cheap hosting plan, something like 20$/year. Pretty good, much better than WP Super Cache.
