Making WordPress faster - WP Super Cache: What's the benefit?

WP Super Cache actually works like a Browser-Cache, i.e. a cache for files, which aims to ensure that every user has to reload as few files as possible when surfing a website. This makes surfing faster and improves performance. The user therefore surfs more comfortably.
On the other hand, website operators and internet providers are also happy because less bandwidth is used. One direct effect is that more users can access the website simultaneously and quickly because the server has fewer file accesses.

Each element of the website causes one or more server accesses when the page is called up. If a cache is interposed, these accesses are reduced.

WordPress faster - WP Super Cache: Installation and initial settings

The installation instructions for WP Super Cache contain terms such as Apache Mode Mime and Mod Rewrite Modules. These terms should not scare off beginners. You don't have to understand them to use the Plugin to start. Only the permalink settings should be changed under Settings/Permalinks have undertaken.

You can then get started. Via Plugins/Install the Plugin WP Super Cache installed and activated. You will then find the start page of the plugin with all the setting options under Settings/WP Super Cache.

If after the test everything looks like in the above graphic... congratulations... otherwise you should send a short mail to your internet provider that he should activate the above mentioned things (Apache Mode Mime and Mod Rewrite Modules) on the server, because these are standards that every provider normally includes in the standard website package. Now you can make all further settings with peace of mind.
