    Question 1) Hello, if my website has pages that never change, and the cached pages are created after user1 logs in. Will user2 see these cached pages?

    Question 2) If part of a page is static, and part of the page changes dynamically, will the cached part of the page load, while the part that changed load dynamically? Or will a new page be created every time? I am concerned because I have all these widgets which always change. If this is the case, hopefully the page gets completely cached except for the dynamic portions.

    If a user has to login to see your site then there’s no point caching as each cached page will be unique to that user. In your scenario user2 won’t see those cached pages.

    The full page gets cached. If you want to keep some part of it dynamic it’s possible but you’ll have to read the docs to find out how to do it. It’s in the FAQ.

    For example I have a facebook widget, and the names in the widget change every time it loads. So are you saying wp super cache is useless because of the facebook widget? That doesn’t sound right. I would imagine a portion of the page has to be static, and the dynamic pieces will still change. At least this is what I am thinking, otherwise my wp supercache is nullified by me having the facebook widget.

    And why would user 2’s page be different if the exact same information gets loaded on the page? It seems to me that it should get cached and spit out to a user as long as the page has been generated previously, by someone.

    If users login to see your site then they all get separate cached pages. If they just visit without entering a username/password then they all get the same cached page.

    The Facebook widget won’t stop the page caching. It might be cached unless it uses Javascript (likely) or you create a dynamic cached paged. (See the FAQ in the documentation)
