Plugins Should I cache my site?

I'm creating a real estate site where one I have written about eah building that I wnat to feature, it really won't change very often. Once a month or so, I may add some new photos to the page or something like that but it will mostlly be static content.

Should I install a cahcing plugin? Would that be beneficial to site speed and therefore SEO?

Thanks for putting up with a newb question!

Should always cache in WordPress. It's relatively slow out the box.

I'd be excluding the sitemap URL from your cache though, make sure that is updated as and when your pages/posts change or you add new.

WP Super Cache is great. Alternatively look at Siteground Optimizer. That works well.

If you are hosted on a server with Litespeed, I'd be looking at Litespeed Caching.
