When I was younger, sometimes my mom would bring home some candy for me and my sister. I would always finish mine first, but I would crave more. In order to get more candy I would get down on my hands and knees and run around the living room pretending to be a dog. Sondra would laugh and throw me candy that I would then eat off the carpet with my mouth and then bark for more. I remember thinking, “Wow.. what a sucker.. I’ve managed to get my dumb sister to willingly give me almost all of her candy.” Thinking back, I question who the real sucker was…

I just installed WP Super Cache and I have to say I wish I had done this earlier!

Before I installed this I noticed that sometimes my blog would timeout and send back only a white page. I thought it was likely because I am on shared hosting and sometimes the PHP or MySQL just wasn’t ready to kick in fast enough (because it never it happens with HTML pages and it seemed like once I hit the first page everything would be “warmed up” and this blog would run normally).

I also been meaning to figure out how to get gzip content encoding on my pages, although I never really tried.
