My client is using a ton of plugins and so our site is really slow.  It isn't the forums fault.  I'm wondering what Wordpress plugin is best to use with the forum.  And do I need to somehow exclude the forum from being cached?

wp-super-cache seems universally popular I believe but yes - you have to exclude the forum from all it's functions because of the dynamic nature of forum data.

I keep meaning to try it actually... 🙂

just to reiterate Andy's post, several wp caching plugins 'work' with sp... wp super cache and w3 total cache most notably...

but the key point is that none of them can cache the forum page...  see, all the forum content displays on a single wp page...  all the appearance of urls for forum and topics is url rewrite black magic... since each wp page view with the forum is dynamically generated, you just cant cache it...

we keep adding more and more internal caching and 5.0 is a huge performance boost over 4.5...
