 * Hey there,
 * We use WP Supercache on our site [http://www.onedirection.net](http://www.onedirection.net).
   We also use a couple of plugins such as WP Minify etc which perform some functions
   that I think Total Cache does anyway.
 * We have a CDN in place, and we’ve spent the last 6 months optimising our page
   load times as much as possible. We’re a content heavy site so our pages will 
   never be the quickest, but we’re doing the best we can.
 * Are there any improvements that we could get from moving over to WP Total Cache?
 * I’ve just had a quick read of the specs and noticed the database caching stuff
   which sounds very interesting.
 * Eager to know of any speed improvements we could be getting, so appreciate the
   advise.
 * Thanks,
 * Chris.

 * Since, you use Microsoft IIS web server, I recommend testing this plugin in a
   demo environment before deciding about the switch. That should provide you more
   ideas on how it works on your particular server.
 * BTW, your site loads very fast already. There is always room for improvement,
   though. 🙂

 * Hi Pothi,
 * Yes we would setup a test site most certainly. Do you think we would see any 
   benefit from moving to a Linux server? Regardless of server type, I’m sure we
   could benefit from some MySQL caching.
 * Glad our site loads fast for you – sometimes its not always that fast though 
   and I want to make it as quick as possible.

 * Hi Chris,
 * I have no experience with IIS. So, I can’t say about any benefits of moving to
   a Linux server. My views, if any, about Linux server based hosting, would be 
   certainly biased. 🙂
 * > Regardless of server type, I’m sure we could benefit from some MySQL caching.
 * That’s true, if you don’t already use WP Object Cache using APC or memcached.
   I’d prefer to enable any type of MySQL caching through MySQL server configuration,
   rather than through a plugin in WordPress.

 * You may want to find out why it is slow at times, before looking for a solution.
   If it is due to large number of concurrent logged-in visitors to a site, then
   a generic caching plugins won’t help. That’s where W3 Total Cache helps with 
   fragment caching. You may want to check out Frederick’s recent article here…

   to get more info on caching, different caching layers, etc.
