   I would recommend everyone to make a note of the changes you have made, especially. Issues on the website may not manifest immediately. For instance, it happened to me that after a week, WordPress started behaving strangely, and it was happening randomly. It took me quite a while to find the problem in the cache plugin and incorrect settings. If I had documented the changes I made, I would have found the problem more easily. It’s a recommendation for everyone.

   Hello,

   I’ve a question:

   Does a free version slow the website ? My opinion is that a free version of this plugin makes website slow.. how do you think?

   Répondre

   • WPBeginner Support

     The free version of plugins will not slow down your site, poorly coded plugins can slow down your site.

   I enabled Minify settings in W3 Total cache plugin and also installed cloudflare extension in w3 total cache plugin.
   Should I enable minify settings in Cloudflare extension also?

   Répondre

   • WPBeginner Support

     You would want to only use one or the other, if your W3 Total cache minification is working well then stay with that for the moment

   Do I still need to install a caching plugin if I use CLOUDFLARE CDN

     It is not required but it is recommended to use a caching plugin with your CDN

   Thanks for the great article! I really benefitted from it and have a better performance now 1/4 load time. One thing you should mention is in the Browser Page under Performance tab there is a box at the bottom that says Rewrite URL. Don’t check that it ruined my pages. All links were alterred but I took it off and it’s ok.

   Hi, As per your recommendation, I have decided to go for MaxCDN, Is there any new update about CDN? Going to the MaxCDN site, there are different service including Content Delivery Network, Edge Delivery and other. Can your recommend me which service I have to select initially? I have new blog with no affiliate link till now and not planning for the next six month. And I am planning to apply Google adsense in the near future.Presently I installed WP Super Cache.
   Do I need to switch W3 Total Cache to configure with MaxCDN? if I can configure MaxCDN with WP Super Cache, do you have any guideline?

    I am Using W3 Total cache plugin for WordPress. My post has one table which updates every minute/hour. But as I do caching, the server does not serves latest version, instead it displays cached copy to the visitor. How can I purge cache every 30 minutes automatically so that it shows latest version of the post at after every 30 minutes?
    I have already tried inserting this code in functions.php file but its not purging cache every 1h, instead it dies 2-3h later.

    function w3_flush_cache( ) {
    $w3_plugin_totalcache->flush_all();
    }

    // Schedule Cron Job Event

    function w3tc_cache_flush() {
    if ( ! wp_next_scheduled( ‘w3_flush_cache’ ) ) {
    wp_schedule_event( current_time( ‘timestamp’ ), ‘hourly’, ‘w3_flush_cache’ );
    }
    }

    Thanks for such an easy to follow article. I broke my website yesterday using instructions from another blog. I should have come here first!!

    I am a bit surprised by my results though. I did a Pingdom and GT Metrics test before I made all these changes and my page load time was:
    Pingdom: 8.91 secs and GT Metrix: 5.3 secs

    After I made all the changes I re-ran the tests:
    Pingdom: 9.51 secs and GT Metrix: 9.9 secs

    I thought my load times were meant to get much better – not worse!!?? What have I done wrong?

    Répondre

    • WPBeginner Support

      Hi Anna,

      Allow the plugin to generate cache and recheck your scores. If that doesn’t help try to review your cache settings to make sure everything is setup properly. Alternately, you can try WP Super Cache and see if it helps.

    Thank you for so great content.
    Should I enable « Page cache » option in the process of development of site or only at when I launch it?
    For me it is convenient to do this right now, but I think maybe during development it is not good as I visiting thousand times to check the progress.

    Répondre

    • WPBeginner Support

      Hi Roman,

      Yes, you are right. You can set up the plugin later once your website is live.

    Hi! Trying to install the W3 Total Cache Plug In, and while it says it is compatible with my version of WordPress, it says that the plug in is unavailable and says « Not allowed on our system due to performance, security or compatibility concerns. Please contact support with any questions. »
    First of all… do you know why this is no longer working? And, do you have an alternative cache plug in that you recommend? Thank you!

    Répondre

    • WPBeginner Support

      Hi Jessica,

      This means that your WordPress hosting company doesn’t allow the plugin. Most probably because they have their own caching solution integrated into your hosting account which doesn’t work well with W3 total Cache. Please contact your hosting provider for more details.

    Hi, I need some help please.
    I’ve followed the instructions to serve my static files through CDN (and they’re very clear, thank you) and have found the process straightforward so far- but when I log in to my site the URL still starts with ‘www.’ and not ‘cdn’ so I guess cdn is not operational yet.
    One thing I notice is that in the MAXcdn account page there is no option to ‘Update’ the Custom Domain settings as mentioned in the instructions – is this OK? I assume it now updates automatically?
    But my main problem is that, assuming I now have to do this, I don’t know how to specify the static files in the custom files list in the custom setting of W3Total Cache. Help please. How should I fill in this Advanced panel – it’s now getting a bit too techie for me? Thank you.

    Répondre

    • WPBeginner Support

      Hi Andy,

      You will login to your WordPress site using the normal URL. CDN only serves static files via their network not the whole website.

      MaxCDN settings may have changed, but you would still need to setup your domain. Please contact their support and they will be able to guide you.

    Thank you so much! I was about to go pay an extra $15 a month for cloud based hosting because my blog had gotten so slow at times it was unbearable! I had setup W3 Total Cache and just enabled everything.

    I didn’t recognize it until going through your guide, but this was the main reason my dashboard and WP console was taking FOREVER to do anything. Sometimes I would wait 20-30 seconds just to create or save a post. Now it is like 2-3 seconds at the max. Also, my site loads even faster with a lot of that junk turned off.

    I am on a shared hosting plan, and I guess all of the caching was actually bottlenecking the CPU or something…. Anyhow, thanks for such a useful guide!

    I recently set up W3 Total Cache with the Rackspace Cloud Files CDN. It all works, but I had expected the media files in the wp-content/uploads folder to only be posted in the CDN rather than on the server. Instead, media uploads now go to both the CDN AND the wp-content/uploads folder. Is this what is supposed to happen? It seemed unnecessarily redundant to me.

    Répondre

    • WPBeginner Support

      Yes, but the images on your server are stored so that you can end using CDN service anytime you want, or move to another service, or to create backup using WordPress backup plugins. However, your visitors will be served images from the closest CDN server instead of your site.

    Hi ! I installed yesterday Super Cache because it seemed easier to configure than W3 Total Cache but this morning my site was very very very slow… So I decided to follow your tutorial step by step and change plugins.
    So, the first step was to deactivate the first plugin, so I clicked deactivate Super Cache and my whole site crashed !!! I get this message : 503 SERVICE UNAVAILABLE no server is available to handle this request.
    I don’t know what to do. Can you help ?

    Minify via disk is currently disabled

    I tried to check the box and when I save after the refresh, it’s disable. enabling it 100 times over still results in an unchecked box, and the message “Minify via disk is currently disabled. Anyone know how to fix that ?

    Thank your this tutorial. I have used it for a couple of my sites.

    One thing, which might be a « duh » situation… But, I had my site in « Maintenance Mode » using SeedProd’s Coming Soon Pro. I did not see the CDN in front of the image urls until I turned off maintenance mode. Then, when I turned it back on again, they were gone again.

    Just in case someone needs this information

    Hello,
    I appreciate so much, your posts. They have helped me learn a bit about setting up my website. However, this particular post led me to check a bunch of boxes under »Performance » Browser Cache » that took me from faster than 91% down to faster than 71% on speed. I had checked them just as you have in your picture above. I unchecked all your suggested boxes and got back to 84%. (on Pingdom) This was the only change I made. I don’t understand why it made things slower, or why I couldn’t get back to my original speed. If you could explain this I would appreciate it. Thanks.

    • WPBeginner Support

      A lot of reasons can show you conflicting results when you are expecting something different. For example, you may have forgotten to save plugin settings, your server is particularly under heavy traffic at that time. Make sure you enable gzip compression as we have shown above, then test.

      How are you checking your website speed and performance? We recommend testing with pingdom using different locations. If it is still slow, then try resetting the plugin and follow the setup instructions again.

        yes using pingdom to test and speed is 2.55s…I think we can do better

        All my performance scores are 100 or 95 the lowest, but the « Remove query strings from static resources » is at 12.

        Any suggestions?

    THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS! I’m EXTREMELY cautions on the plugins I install from horror stories. I’ve also heard horror stories about this very plug in. Therefore, I research as much as I can: tutorials, forums, reviews, troubleshooting etc. I am going to follow your tutorial exactly. My server says my site is too large, 500kb, and needs to be gzipped. [sigh] Another plugin to search.

    Helpful note: You may have a downloadable instructions on your site somewhere & I am not see it. But It would be helpful if I could download to print OR this was print friendly. you have have link but I am not seeing it.

    Hi,

    I do have one question, when static pages are created for example you have 200 pages and just installed and set up W3 cache. So now when static pages will be created for all those 200 sites.
    Do you have to load it manually every site by site in your browser ? I understand that this action takes some time so when exactly those sites are created ( static copies on a disk) ?
