This is a response to your second question — “Also, it looks like the main page of the site is not cached, while everything else is. Is there any way to deal with that?”
In your backend, go to Settings -> WP Super Cache and select the Advanced tab. Look for the section titled Accepted Filenames & Rejected URIs. If Front Page (is_front_page)
or Home (is_home)
is checked, uncheck it, and then click the Save
button. That should allow your site’s Front / Home page to be cached.
NB: This assumes you’re using the WP Super Cache plugin, which I gather from the question’s tags that you are.
(I haven’t tested this, though, so your mileage may vary.)
