 * Hello
 * I was using the WP Super Cache and it seems like my site loads faster without
   using the cache. On avg with the cache plugin activated it was taking my site
   around three to four seconds to load. Without any caching it takes around 1.3
   seconds to load.
 * I also tried the cache plugin offered by the wpbeginnger site…forget about it,
   it took a long time for my site to load.
 * Is it normal for a site to load quicker without any caching?
    I’m using the Genesis
   framework and I use Blue Host as a webhost. And man this combination equals lightning
   fast load times!

 * Are you certain supercache is working? Did you do the test page test? Did you
   preload the cache and look for your webpages to show up in the supercache? Are
   you using PHP, mod rewrite, or legacy for the caching?

 * I selected the recommended choices in the advanced section. The plugin was activated
   and enabled. I didn’t do what you mention here, but I find my site loads a lot
   faster without it. I’ll try what you’ve asked here.

 * Cache hits to this website for quick access
    Use mod_rewrite to serve cache files
   Compress pages so they’re served more quickly to visitors Don’t cache pages for
   known users Mobile device support. Preload mode (garbage collection only on legacy
   cache files
 * These are the options I have set. It seems after my page loads using super cache
   it still says in the lower left of the firefox browser “transferring data from
   bloggingperspectives daily”
 * With these options I don’t really see much difference than not using the plugin.
   Is this normal? Or should I see a big difference with the plugin? Thanks

 * You should see a big difference but it could also be Javascript widgets on your
   site that’s slowing things down.
 * The readme/documentation explains how to know if the plugin is working properly.

 * I don’t know what I’m doing wrong but the WP super cache plugin doesn’t work 
   for me. I looed at the page source and the time stamps are different when I load
   pages, is that how it should be?
    Let me say I’m using Woopra and Google Analytics
   which both have java scripts? I’m using disqus….recent comments java script? 
   I’m using publitweet java script….
 * Also when using the plugin after my page loads in the lower left corner of my
   browser it say’s ‘transferring data from bloggingperspectivesdaily. Why would
   it still be transferring data if the page is loaded?
 * I want to unistall wp super cache do I have to make any changes to the .htaccess
   file?

 * Can someone tell me what should load time look like with WP super cache? Mine
   are like 2.5 to 3.5 seconds.
    I looked at pro blogger and load time there are
   0.6 seconds I’m using Genesis framework which is optimized for speed and I use
   Blue Host …I don’t know seems like my blog is slow to load

 * Try the debug system in the plugin. That will tell you a lot about what the plugin
   is or isn’t doing.
 * There are instructions in the documentation on how to uninstall the plugin too.
