In my experience we’ve ran into issues trying to use both an internal wordpress plugin with an outside cache like Varnish. <br> <br>Overall you are better at selecting one and sticking with it and alot of that also depends on what other plugins and functionality you have installed on your wordpress. <br> <br>I’d recommend using WordPress Super Cache: <br>http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-super-cache/ <br> <br>And then reviewing system performance and making adjustments if necessary. Also if you make both changes at once and start running into issues you’ll have a harder time of figuring out which one is at fault.
@PigGy: No, nginx does not support htaccess files. See if this helps: <a href=“https://github.com/pothi/WordPress-Nginx/blob/master/globals/wpsc.conf”>https://github.com/pothi/WordPress-Nginx/blob/master/globals/wpsc.conf</a>
With my Nginx running Varnish, I installed WordPress Super Cache in my Wordpress and it prompted me to setup .Htaccess mod-rewrite when I enable <br>“Use mod_rewrite to serve cache files. (Recommended)” then I realize I’m not on apache. <br> <br>Is it possible to add .htaccess file to my wordpress root with Nginx running?
