When developing Drupal websites, you will start to notice performance bumps when adding more and more modules to your site. Soon enough as your website gets more complicated, those performance flaws get magnified. One very essential module you should install into your Drupal site is the Boost module.
Boost provides static page caching for Drupal enabling a very significant performance and scalability boost for sites that receive mostly anonymous traffic. Boost is very easy to install and has been throughly tested on Shared, VPS and Dedicated hosting. Apache is fully supported, with Nginx,Lighttpd and IIS 7 semi-supported. Boost will cache & gzip compress html, xml, ajax, css, & javascript. Boosts cache expiration logic is very advanced; it's fairly simple to have different cache lifetimes for different parts of your site. The built in crawler makes sure expired content is quickly regenerated for fast page loading. For shared hosting this is your best option in terms of improving performance.
It involves a few tweaks to the htaccess and robots.txt files, but its all worth it and actually very easy to install. Grab it here.
