What do you guys think about Wp Super Cache?
I used to use this plugin but I removed it after several day.
I wouldn’t leave my blog out in the public without it. The difference in load times is quite significant and I’m sure my web host appreciates it.
WP Super Cache is a fine plugin, but I personally prefer Hyper Cache for various reasons.
I’d have to agree with Andrew. Especially with the rumors of google placing ranking weight on faster sites.
WP Email Capture might add some convience to your eamil marketing campaign but with the services it provides be careful with exporting emails off your list. To run a successful email marketing campaign you want to target your clients or customers specifically. This will help you avoid negative results.
Online Leaf – From the description it sounds like a screen saver? What am I missing?
Online Leaf – Sounds like a waste of time and effort if I am honest. I understand that we all want to be more energy efficient, but come on… what do you suppose the energy saving is on darkening areas of a screen? It would probably take about 15 billion years of doing that to equal the energy saving from just turning down your heating or AC a tiny amount.
I think Online Leaf is a bit more than just going dark. If you read the concept, it’s not just a Blackle copy, as it covers animations, heavy graphics and other visual effects, so the monitors do not waste energy generating those. I’ve installed it already, and actually like it. Even though the energy savings might be small (still they are more than what you assume, I guess), it’s just a click away anyway and every little bit helps after all.
