That was an old plugin (not yet installed) that caused the problem. Now archive is working correctly.

Hmm… Could this be the problem? I used the same template as on my other blog.

I deleted .htaccess in my root folder and in my wordpress folder and resaved the permalink options. Didn’t work.

Don’t mind: I deactivated that thing. Don’t really need that much cache.

Well, whatever, my site probably isn’t popular enough for that plugin anyway. Deactivated

Here is what I have in the first window:

wp-.*.php
*/2007/*
*/2008/*
*/2009/*
*single.php*

and I still get cached pages for 2009/03/etc.

What is wrong?

p.s. WP-Super-cache does save two index.html files: one in my default folder, and another one in a ‘/+/’ folder… What exactly is that ‘+’?

Thanks!

Damn it, I hate this plugin… I added

/2007/
/2008/
/2009/

in the Accepted Filenames & Rejected URIs section to be sure my single files would not be cached (so I can still use Who sees Ads) but Wp-Super-Cache still caches them… Uh-Oh!

Same problem here.

I have a very alike problem specifically with Opera. Firefox and IE work well and cache is working, but not only is cache not working with Opera it also crashes. Opera does not use the cache; it reloads the page each time. Then, after switching back to FF and testing it again, I find that Opera simply closed itself.. actually no error, no crash, it simply closed itself… Weird.

Any idea?

Thanks.

Ok I think I understand. I will surely look for optimization, but since for every test it takes only about 1-3 seconds for everything to load except for loading the first bar, what option do I have left for the main problem?

In other words: working on optimization and PHP acceleration could help for the 5% of the speed problem, but what about the other 95%. Is there any other option beside switching host?

I did numerous test, and for the last 10 the results are disappointing: 5 out of 10 took more than 8 seconds (3 more than 10 and 1 over 20) but I also have 2 results UNDER 2 seconds. It seems the results are inconsistant. Could it mean that my host has too many users on the same server, hence the fact that sometimes it is fast sometimes it is not?

@samboll: I did it and still slow… And whatever plugins I have or not, if it takes 24 seconds to simply get to my URL, what is left to gain?

Or maybe I am wrong? On https://tools.pingdom.com/ I have no control on the first bar, right? This is simply my host speed?

I don’t think it has something to do with lot of request; my blog isn’t that popular (500 visitors is a good day and at this hour most of my visitors are at bed). I do a lot of testing with the speed of my blog, and the main problem is that it is inconsistent: I can get 3-4 <2sec. results followed by a 7sec. and a 18sec! But do you think the person who want to get to my blog by google will wait 18sec.? No way!

I think I am on Linux. I have a normal hosting plan (no VPS). I will check documentation tomorrow to see if I can make it work.

As for Super-Cache, do you think it is worth it for <500 visitors a day and considering I have a recent comment plugin (possible “stand still” problem…)

Thanks!

Just for fun, I redid the test, and at some point the URL took 4.8 seconds to launch, then everything else an astonishing 0.8 seconds… Maybe the problem is my host?!

EDIT: Just for fun: https://lelectronlibre.net/speed.jpg

And my host saying that everything is normal… ??

Thank you very much for your reply. I really don’t understand why every test I do says my site is not that bad, but it gets ugly very often… Does it mean that the problem could simply be my host? I am with dot5hosting… Never had any problem with them, but maybe they are too slow?

I installed wp-cache on my old blog, but there was some problem with running “recent comments”. Also, I wonder: is it really useful considering I rarely have over 500 visitors a day?

Concerning Xcace or eAccelerator, does it really make the site faster? Are they easy to install and is there any problem with those?

Thanks!

Thanks. I’ll try it. Right now I am running mini because too much script and HTML calls, but I will give it a try.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I see it is complex stuff… Well, it is difficult to do as I see..

I know bumping is not allowed, so I won’t bump… But if anyone can help me with this it would be appreciated. I must not be the only one with that problem…
