It’s kind of irked me that my site takes a couple of seconds longer to load than many other sites. As far as I know, WordPress generates the output dynamically from the database, which would explain this phenomenon. I realize that two more seconds of loading time isn’t much to fret over - however, I worry about it anyway because I know I can make it faster than that.

I installed WP-Cache which will hopefully speed things up a little bit. Put simply, it caches my blog’s pages and stores them as static files so they are served considerably faster. To anyone who uses WordPress as their blogging software: I suggest you check out this plugin, as there’s no harm in trying it.
