My concern with the wordpress cacheing plugins I've looked at is that they require the webserver to have write access to the webserver directory. This is particularly dangerous on shared webhosts, as a malicious customer on the same server could write php files in your cache directory.


I'm pretty sure that W3 Total Cache writes to /wp-content/uploads which you'd need to be writeable anyway.


That's what suPHP is for.
