    @SneakyDave asked about Wordfence Plugin vs Super Cache Plugin and I haven't used Wordfence before but looks interesting especially the Falcon Engine WordPress › Support » What exactly does Falcon Engine? Questions on features, XMLRPC, options, cache and Falcon Cache - Wordfence Documentation

    I haven't used Falcon Engine, never investigated how it worked with Nginx, as it appears to want to make changes to .htaccess files, but basic caching works ok, but I haven't done any benchmarks on it.

    Edited to add, it looks like it supports nginx configurations now, this is the message I get enabling it:

    Still WP Super Cache works perfect for me and Falcon Engine looks like similar to WP Super Cache.
