Posted by: Owen on Tuesday, 6th May, 2008
I’ve been using WP-Cache for a few days now and I’m impressed with the difference it’s making. I’m on a shared service here, so I don’t really have access to server stats for load analysis, but just the fact that the user experience browsing my site has improved so much is just awesome!
Before my experience, [...]

So I’ve decided to make commenting more fun for people and also say [...]
