I have set up Boost on one of my sites and everything appears to work normally, however my users do not appear to notice any performance improvements. Is there some way (using external tools I would imagine) to verify, as an Anonymous user, whether or not pages are being fed from HTML files or from Drupal? I can't help feeling that I've got something wrong in the setup and that in fact Boost is always serving from the database.

I'm using boost on a couple sites & it makes an incredible difference w. anonymous users (thx!)

do you have firebug installed on mozilla / firefox? : you should be able to see the 'boost tags in your footer.
<-- Page cached by Boost @ 2010-11-22 22:43:21, expires @ 2010-11-22 22:43:20 -->
or header. you setup those specs at configuration..
hope this helps.

Thanks for that - I looked and discovered that it was not there! So I checked again and found that my htaccess file had been replaced by the standard one. Now I will check again to see if the cache notice is present.
