Batcache uses Memcached to store and serve rendered pages. It can also optionally cache redirects. It’s not as fast as Donncha’s WP-Super-Cache but it can be used where file-based caching is not practical or not desired. For instance, any site that is run on more than one server should use Batcache because it allows all servers to use the same storage.
Development testing showed a 40x reduction in page generation times: pages generated in 200ms were served from the cache in 5ms. Traffic simulations with Siege demonstrate that WordPress can handle up to twenty times more traffic with Batcache installed.
Batcache is aimed at preventing a flood of traffic from breaking your site. It does this by serving old pages to new users. This reduces the demand on the web server CPU and the database. It also means some people may see a page that is a few minutes old. However this only applies to people who have not interacted with your web site before. Once they have logged in or left a comment they will always get fresh pages.
Possible future features:
<ul>
<li>Comments, edits, and new posts will trigger cache regeneration</li>
<li>Online installation assistance</li>
<li>Configuration page</li>
<li>Stats</li>
</ul>

Simple Cache was constructed after getting frustrated with the major caching plugins available and building sites with developer-only complex caching solutions that get millions of page views per day. Simple Cache promises the following:
<ul>
<li>Extremely simple one-click install. There is an on-off switch. That’s it. No need to wade through 50 complicated settings.</li>
<li>Simple Cache makes your site run very fast so you can handle lots of traffic.</li>
<li>Extremely easy to delete. Don’t like the plugin? You can remove it, and your website won’t break.</li>
<li>Easily clear the cache if you need to.</li>
<li>Enable gzip compression</li>
<li>Want to get advanced with object caching (Memached or Redis)? An advanced mode is available that will automatically setup <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/batcache/" rel="ugc">Batcache</a> and <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/memcached/" rel="ugc">Memcached</a>/<a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-redis/" rel="ugc">Redis</a> for you.</li>
</ul>
If you need your site to run fast, don’t have time to mess with complicated settings, and have been frustrated by other caching plugins, give Simple Cache a try.

Simple Cache

I had this plugin on about 30 sites two years ago, but have since removed it, one by one, because of bad experiences of many kinds. The last was removed today, after site crashed due to fatal error in caused by the last update to this plugin.

When deactivating it also puts DEFINE('WP_ACHE', false); at the top of wp-config.php. This is bad and makes trouble using another cache plugin, unless this line is manually removed.

I can not recommend this plugin. Be aware of the thing mentioned above, when uninstalling to try out another.

Sorry - bad plugin

A very simple plugin to make your site run lightning fast with caching.
