WordPress Super Cache plugin

WP Super Cache is a plugin for WordPress that generates static HTML pages from your dynamic WordPress blog.  Once static pages are generated, those pages are displayed to visitors, using less server resources than dynamic webpages. 

For busy websites running WordPress, HostGator recommends that a caching plugin, such as WP Super Cache be enabled.  This will allow your website to handle more simultaneous visitors and also typically loads much faster than without the caching plugin.

WordPress Super Cache will be installed by default with all new Fantastico WordPress installations. If you or a client wants it to be removed, that user can simply deactivate it in their wp-admin/ directory.

I just installed WP 3.01 via Fantastico but don't see the WP Super Cache plugin. Does the install script need to be updated?

If it is not included, you can simply download the plugin from the internet and publish it to your /wp-content/plugins folder.

Both these plugins performed very well during our tests and either should be fine to install, however we've chosen WP Super Cache as our recommendation, mainly due to the fact that it is easier to install and properly configure.
