Surge generates and serves static HTML files for your WordPress site, causing quicker requests, faster load times and a shorter time to first byte (TTFB).
Surge does not require configuration, and has no options. It works out of the box on any well-configured hosting platform. Cached files are stored on disk, and automatically invalidated when your site is updated.
In various load tests, Surge has shown to easily handle 1000-2500 requests per second at 100 concurrent, on a small single-core server with only 1 GB of RAM. That’s over 70 times faster than a stock WordPress install.

Surge

This plugin does one thing: generate and serve static HTML files. And it does that one thing perfectly.

Focused

It really helps to improve speed A LOT without any hassle with options.

Great job!

I just installed Surge in all my sites. After cancelling the payment option I was using, I was looking for a simple and easy to install option. And Surge is exactly this. Forget about complex configuration options (where you're at risk of crashing your site, talking from my own experience!), just install and forget!. 

I don't know if it's really the fastest option if you're an optimization expert that know exactly what to touch but it's the fastest option for me, no doubt about it

Hassle-free option - Works out-of-the-box


This plugin works! Install, activate, and check WP_CACHE value and boom - your site is fast!One nice feature that is happening under the hood is caching of specific REST API requests. That makes, for example, dynamic parts of the site with javascript filtering blazingly fast.


Just works!


Over the years, I've looked at all the top caching plugins, and never found one that I liked. They were either too complex, too finicky, or tried to do too many things.



Surge just works, and it works great.



Update: I ran some basic performance testing of the same sample content with and without Surge activated.Surge increased my Requests per second by a factor of 21x and reduced my time per request by a factor of 25x.



Beyond that, Konstantin has been amazing as far as support goes for a free plugin. Besides addressing issues and requests, he's gone above-and-beyond at helping work through issues, to the point of looking at where we are using Surge and making additional configuration recommendations. If it were possible to give 6 stars, I would!


Finally a Caching Plugin I can get behind!

Surge is a very simple and fast page caching plugin for WordPress.

This plugin caches every database query with given lifetime. It is much faster than other html caching plugins and uses less disk space for caching. Now compatible with WordPress 3.1.
This plugin is based on <a href="https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/db-cache-reloaded/" rel="ugc">DB Cache Reloaded</a> by sirzooro. I patch it so it have WordPress 3.4 compatibility.
I think you’ve heard of <a href="https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-cache/" rel="ugc">WP-Cache</a> or <a href="https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-super-cache/" rel="ugc">WP Super Cache</a>, they are both top plugins for WordPress, which make your site faster and responsive. Forget about them – with DB Cache Reloaded your site will work much faster and will use less disk space for cached files. Your visitors will always get actual information in sidebars and server CPU loads will be as low as possible.
This plugin is a fork of a <a href="https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/db-cache/" rel="ugc">DB Cache</a> plugin. Because his author did not updated its plugin to WordPress 2.8, I finally (after almost three months since release of WP 2.8) took his plugin and updated it so now it works with newest WordPress version. Additionally I fixed few bugs, cleaned up the code and make it more secure.
This plugin was tested with WordPress 2.8 and never. It may work with earlier versions too – I have not tested. If you perform such tests, let me know of the results.
If you are using WordPress 2.9, please use DB Cache Reloaded version 2.0 or never – versions 1.x are not compatible with WordPress 2.9.
If you are using WordPress 3.0, please use DB Cache Reloaded version 2.1 or never – earlier versions are not compatible with WordPress 3.0.
