Title: cache files are generated, but how can I understand they are used? Last modified: August 22, 2016 --- # cache files are generated, but how can I understand they are used? * [stosun](https://wordpress.org/support/users/stosun/) * (@stosun) * [11 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/supercache-cache-files-are-generated/) * I installed plugin, cache files are generated but I think they are not loaded. Because, number of requests and page-size at pagespeed test are not changed. * I posted similar topic a week ago, but I can’t get any feedback. How can I get support from developer or any other people? Could you help me please?

Those are not expected to change with WP Super Cache, as I understand it. * And if you already had enabled gzip compression before enabling WP Super Cache( for example through your htaccess file), then the PageSpeed page size would also not change, as far as I’m aware of. * Thread Starter [stosun](https://wordpress.org/support/users/stosun/) * (@stosun) * [11 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/supercache-cache-files-are-generated/#post-5598244) * Hi, Thanks for your reply. Yes I mean http requests. I use pingdom for page analysis. First of all, I deactivated the plugin. I remove supercache related code from wp-config.php I look at htaccess files and there is no any gzip, etc.. supercache folder is empty. Thereis no supercache info at bottom of view-source. I test with pingdom and I got following figures; Perf. Grade: 75/100, Requests: 153 Load Time:5.2s ( from Nederlands server) Page Size:2.2MB * After that, I activated plugin. timestamps are ok. Settings; caching is open at easy tab; ‘Use Php for caching’ at Advance tab. cache fresh is checked. Late init is checked. * I got those at bottom of view-source. * * Figures from pingdom test are; Perf. Grade: 75/100, Requests:153 Load Time:4.0s( from Nederlands server) Page Size:2.2MB * I think those figures, with and without supercache plugins, shows some wrong. But I can not find it. * Could you advise me please?

A large page size is probably due to a lot of images or javascript, and that’s not something that WP Super Cache improves (as I understand it). * Thread Starter [stosun](https://wordpress.org/support/users/stosun/) * (@stosun) * [11 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/supercache-cache-files-are-generated/#post-5598247) * Hi, Thanks for your reply. I can’t say something about loading time improvement, because loading time varies from 4s to 5.5s. But I see those at bottom of view- source; there, it says dynamic page generated 1.3s. * I tried other settings what you advised. But, result is similar. At the other hand, size of index.html at supercache folder is 65KB. Here are page analysis figures from pingdom tool; Size per Content Type Image 1.3 MB Script 414.5 kB Other 264.6 kB CSS 253.3 kB HTML 14.0 kB * Requests per Content Type Image 68 Script 37 CSS 19 Other 17 HTML 2 * What can I do to get improvement?
