No, unless the page has links to images, stylesheets, js or other static content served by the same machine. But don't do that - host them on another server with a long cache time instead. > 2. Any other suggested Apache configuration settings for such a web site? Use event MPM. Only load the modules which you need, which should be almost none for one simple page. Read the docs on performance tuning. > 3. Is there some way to cache the page in RAM? Yes, but since you say there will be frequent updates, maybe investigate just having the page on a ramdisk so you get fast reads and writes? > 4.

Yes, but only for javascript or iframes. I can't see how you could accomplish it with SSI or PHP.
