WP Super Cache

WordPress comes with too many dynamic data so we need to make some static file which increases our website speed. For this, we use a cache plugin. here I am recommending you WP Super Cache, as it is a very lite and very easy plugin for you.

I personally use WP Rocket and WP Super Cache for some blogs. WP Rocket is a paid plugin but it the best cache plugin. If you re finding free option then definitely you need to go with WP Super Cache or W3 Total Cache.

W3 Total Cache it difficult for a non-technical user but it is a good plugin.

W3 total cache works good on VPS servers but in shared hosting, WP Super Cache works better. Now choose which cache plugin you will install.
