   Not just useful for high-traffic blogs, but any WP site; you never know when your low-traffic site might be dugg, et cetera. An ounce of prevention, and all that.

   I am getting an internal server error when get near 10,000 unique visitors (IPs in a day?) and I use wp-cache. I don’t understand the problem

   10,000 uniques per day? Wow…

   Thanks for the link. I’ve done most of these already, but had never played with WP-Cache. I doubt my site will ever generate enough traffic to warrant its use, but it’s good to know I won’t have to code something from scratch

   Nice article but you missed a major method to speed up wordpress.. Caching with Apache!

   There is a detailed article about setting up your images, javascript, css, etc., to be cached by your visitors (and stop 304 If-Modified-Since requests) at Speed Up Sites with htaccess Caching

   If a browser receives an image with the cache control headers that say the image can be considered fresh for 2 weeks, then for 2 weeks the image can be pulled directly from the browser’s (or proxy’s) cache on subsequent requests.This is noticeably faster than even a conditional GET and a 304 response from the server since there is no round trip. After two weeks, a conditional GET would be sent to the server to check the Last-Modified date, then again, no requests would be made for the duration of the specified freshness period.

   There has been some issues with using WP-Cache recently. Hope they sort that out with the latest WordPress version 2.1

   I’m running wp-cache on both my blogs. What kind of problems are you facing?

   Awesome! I hope this post gets spread around the net, we would all benefit by implementing faster blogs and websites. Thanks!

   Missing 1 little piece though, you should encourage people to also implement a server-side caching scheme to send out the correct caching headers with static content such as images, javascript, css, pdfs, favicon.ico, etc..
