What is a simple way you can boost the performance of your Wordpress website? Adding a caching plugin! Commonly associated with internet browsers, a cache creates a static copy of your website and serves visitors the static copy instead of fetching the content from a server each time. The benefits of using a cache are immense. Since the visitor is viewing a static copy, loading times and bandwidth are reduced. These optimizations can enhance the visitor experience and compliment your search engine optimization efforts as well. While dozens of caching plugins exist, we recommend either LiteSpeed Cache or WP Super Cache.
LiteSpeed Cache
LiteSpeed Cache includes an entire suite of tools which will help to boost the performance of your website. The plugin includes advanced caching options for pages and configurations to optimize CSS, JQuery, HTML, and JavaScript functions on your website. Although LiteSpeed Cache can be installed on any web server, it is most effective if your website is hosted on a LiteSpeed equipped server, such as what we offer in our cloud hosting services. Among our favorite features of LiteSpeed Cache is the integration between the plugin and CloudFlare, which provides further options for optimization.

WP Super Cache
First developed by Automattic, the company behind Wordpress, WP Super Cache provides a streamlined approach to caching. Just install and activate. The plugin generates static HTML files of your content and compresses several types of scripts to reduce loading times. Since WP Super Cache is published by the same company which develops Wordpress, it integrates seamlessly within the existing admin environment.
