SpeedHost.in Blog Hosted on WordPress

According to me WordPress is one of the best things to happen to the Internet, it has enabled millions of people to express their thoughts online without having to worry about programming / web design etc but as your WordPress blog grows, you might experience a little slowness or a delay from the server, this is because if you have thousands of people visiting your blog everyday, each time your page is rendered for the visitor, this would slow down your blog and even cause temporary outage if your are on shared hosting.

But since you are working on WordPress and it being the God of all Blog softwares, there are various solutions available to this problem. You can install a Plugin called WP-Cache which will cache your dynamic pages and render from from cache, instead of calling them from the database. This will significantly reduce your server load and speed up your website performance.

3. Batch plugin update and compatibility check.
