Does caching work on a WP site?

Question

caching

In an attempt to speed up youplateit.com.au, I installed Hyper Cache. The page speed of their cache is the same as before the plugin. Tried a few more plugins, no difference. Maybe caching just doesn't work? How to determine?
PS. I would be grateful also for advice on speeding up this site.

Answer 1

see how the page is generated in my blog
pumainthailand.com
about 200 ms in the first byte
, this means that the cache works
if more than 200 then it does not work

Answer 2

First, please specify by what method do you determine the page loading speed? If standard counters are similar,
then the result for any will remain the same, since Hyper Cache caches the entire page, creating a static html file, which is subsequently given to the user (including numbers measuring the page loading speed).
Secondly, you could simply forget to enable page caching in the wordpress engine itself by forgetting to add the line "define('WP_CACHE', true);" in the wp-config.php file (I don’t know, maybe this jamb was fixed in the latest versions of this plugin, but still check).
Thirdly, I would advise you to use w3totalcache, including object cache, browser cache, db cache (optional) and static page caching for as long as you like (although using this type of cache may lead to incorrect display of "dynamic" objects on the page, such as voting , comments, ordering, etc.).
Ps By default, the HyperCache plugin does not cache pages for registered users. And by the way, you can check whether the plugin caches or not by looking at the source code of the page, if below is something like (hyper cache: 1b7e9b9b714b0b83a6f28ad4f7541abf 10-01-23 06:09:45), then the plugin works and next time the page will open from the cache.

Thanks for the answer. It doesn't work for me even though it's enabled. Can you tell me what to do?

Try this caching plugin:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/em-object-cache/
It does its job very well and renders dynamic content normally, not just html cache.
