This plugin has a lot of features, but it’s main purpose is to interlink your blog posts automatically. This means that the plugin searches your content for keywords and then links these keywords to other content on your site. Such a thing is great for SEO.W3 Total Cache
Site speed is now an important ranking factor in Google. Also, people like to visit sites that respond quickly. Caching is actually the cheapest way of speeding up your site.
