Is this the new trick fad in blogging? Maybe I don't know as much as I thought I did, can anyone explain what this is supposed to do and why so many bloggers want their pages to now end in .html?
So do you have to change your URL's to end in .html to use WP Super Cache? I'm sorry that didn't help me understand it at all,that just told me about the plug in I haven't seen the correlation between that plug in and people requesting to know how to do it. The 2 weren't mentioned together. OOhhhh! Are you saying that people are doing it because they suposedly load faster? (Gosh , I wish you had just said that).
I think s_ruben was trying to say that serving static HTML makes your website run faster, which is true. It also makes your website have a better result in PageSpeed and Yslow, which can, possibly, improve your SERPs. Also, there seems to be no information on why anyone would choose to have a .html extension if they didn't have to. You can actually have any extension you want, and not affect the content, which is why some companies use the .seo extension.
People ow use Super Cache Plug-in to make their website faster and reduce bandwidth , But no need really if you do not have a huge website with millions of Page views
Actually, there are plenty of reasons to use Super Cache, even if you have a small website. You only need a few images and a few pages of text, and once you get over a few hundred users a month, the bandwidth starts to get used up.
even i have shifted to .html endings for my board i think it has relation with SEo n all, but its good i m getting much more results in google after that n even more visitors
I'm still not sold that this will improve your SERPS, I don't see how one has anything to do with the other. If you have crappy SEO, changing your pages to ending in HTML is not going to combat that. I know that poor load times can affect results, but I'm not buying that it's going you give you some miraculous boost in the SERP's As far as load times goes, I assume that this is an issue of shared hosting. Not that every site couldn't stand to be as trim as possible, of course.
