Hi. The blog in my "recent blog" is extremely slow. The server speed is ok. Its the database that makes it slow. How can I fix this ?
Optimize the database, that'll help. Not sure of your server setup but mysql 4.1 and up supports query caching which helps alot. Wordpress also has a built-in caching that to use you just need to make a cache file in your wp contents folder and chmod it 777.
I made cache and chmod it 777, but no files goes into the cache when reading posts or writing new posts. What would be the name of the cache folder ?
you can try wp cache http://mnm.uib.es/gallir/wp-cache-2/ but it should help you much unless you have huge traffic or you can try this http://www.arnebrachhold.de/2007/02...-up-the-performance-of-wordpress-with-caching
