I get the criticism but looking at the history of caching plugins' security issues and the commonality of screwed up caching, it's obvious there isn't a one-size-fit-all solution. Rather than dynamic caching, most users wanting to survive getting hugged on a simple blog would probably best be served by one of the static site generators for Wordpress. Takes out the main bottlenecks and leaves a lot more flexibility in how to serve it.
