   Hi, do you have any tipps of how to make W3 Total Cache and AdRotate work together? It seems to be a horrible Task.

   You can add your shopping cart page as an exception in w3 total cache. Under Performance > Page Cache scroll down to advanced section where you will find the option ‘Never cache the following pages’. For example, if your eCommerce plugin uses a page cart for checkout, then simply enter “cart/” to exclude that page or “cart/*” to exclude that page and all sub-pages. (Without the quotes, of course.)

   Hi Guys, thank you for the awesome article, it made my site much faster than before! However I have encountered with a little issue. My site has webshop and the checkout page (due to the Credit Card payment option) has https (I have my own SSL hosted by RapidSSL). So the checkout page (I assume because of the SSL is totally messed up when the W3TotalCache is enabled, no formats, no pictures, no colours only text…) How can I fix this issue, do you have any recommendation? Thank you, Marou

   We haven’t noticed any significant conflicts on any of our websites where we use it. Even then, if you come across a conflict then notify the plugin author by using the support tab on the plugin’s page.

   Thanks for writing this tutorial on how to setup and decrease a blog load time using W3 total cache.

   I use this same plugin on one of my blogs, the resulting speed of the blog is awesome.

   Although, i have seen many people complain about this plugin that it sometimes conflict with other wordpress plugins.

   I don’t know if you have experienced this in person?

   Hi thanks for the video I enjoyed it, I’ve used w3 total cache for over 5 years on all four of my personal sites and I honestly have to say I’ve alway had better luck 90% of the time using it right out of the box, less likely to break other function that way. Kind of the risk vrs rewards factor and that normally persuades me to just use it out of the box. After watching this video and decided to give the settings you requested a try, You helped me out quite a bit. My site went up in speed from 82% to 97% page speed, and yslow score went from 72% to 93%, thanks for the setting can’t wait to try them on my other sites!

    I used W3 cache through my developer. My site was acting weirdly, it does not load properly on first instance and when I refresh the page it is loaded properly. This happens with every page. When I told my developer, he told me that it because my internet speed is slow and the page is not able to serve from cache. So why is this happening ? Any clue

    Like the previous person Ss, I am new to WP and I followed this plugin tutorial video (aside from the minify, CDN stuff). I got the same message at the top of my pages in wp admin: “The setting change(s) made either invalidate the cached data or modify the behavior of the site. now to provide a consistent user experience. ” Why did this happen and Should I dismiss it or click on the empty cache button? Help, Please!

    I installed that way, but my site design is all messed. I have my blog installed on a subdomain: blog.mydomain.com ; what should I set for the cdn? cdn.blog.mydomain.com?

      Yes, that’s how you do it. But I would prefer example.com/blog/ for better SEO.

    I followed the instructions for beginners and all it tooks was three clicks to set it all up (if you are not using CDN). It would be good to have a more advanced version of this post.

    Edit : After testing for speed, it only made my website slower.

    I mean I installed W3 Total Cache on the Network Admin but it does not show on the website that I want it to be active.
    Does it handles multi-site installations or it only works individually?

    Thanks for this tut, I’m pretty new to wp and all this helps a great deal! I installed and activated this plugin as per your post (aside for the CDN part). However the following message appears at the top of all pages in wp admin: “The setting change(s) made either invalidate the cached data or modify the behavior of the site. now to provide a consistent user experience. ”

    Luckily found this short tutorial, my blog page load increased severely after setting up the caches. Now I know better what to turn on and what cache to leave disabled. On shared hosting, in my opinion it’s only good to turn on page cache and browser cache.

    Now going to try it with a CDN. Hopefully things can improve further.

    Hi,

    I using a wp multi site install and Cloudflare but I just cannot find any instructions on how to configure W3.

    When activated network wide there is nowhere to add individual distributions for each sub domain.

    Or else I’m missing something!

    Any help is much appreciated

      You will find CloudFlare available as an extension under Performance » Extensions. After activating CloudFlare extension you will be able to see its settings.

    Awesome article! Just what I was looking for – my site is on Hostgator and I’d love to use both W3 Total Cache and Max CDN. Perfect.

    BUT I got lost at the point of creating subdomains. I just don’t understand what that means or how to create one. Just make one up? Find one somewhere on my site. Very confused.

    My site is slow – it gets a C at best on GTMetrixs, and I’m preparing to do a big campaign. I need help.

    Do ya’ll offer support services? I saw that you do free blog set ups. Would accept payment to help set these up for me?

    Hi ! its a nice plugin . but i installed WP Fastest cache instead , so now i am facing a little problem with this . i have used contact form 7 with really simple captcha but after installing the WP Fastest Cache the captcha image is broken in the website. so how to get rid of this or if i install w3tc will i overcome this problem.

    返信

    • Ashutosh Bhardwaj

      That might be the reason, because in order to make everything cachable, ur plugin might have added a query string as suffix to image name, and it broke.
      Ask plugin support, they will help for sure

    to your Archives WPBEGINNER ARCHIVES” to find some basic lessons
    Anyways I will be here to look and study around

    thanks guys for your awesome job.

    In the dashboard W3 gives a tip to upgrade to Pro for $99. However all the functions you described can be checked without upgrade.

    Then what this upgrade is for? – should i go ahead and purchase the upgrade?

    返信

    • avgjoegeek

      That is for their “Pro” Service. If you use Genesis framework they will offer additional ‘special’ caching and monitoring to help speed up your site more. Most people do not need this.

    I am at the step where I configure the CDN section in W3TC. I added cdn.davidgeer.com and clicked add cname. It added it and said it was reserved for CSS. Then another field popped up to add another CNAME and it said it is reserved for js in . Should I keep adding each of my consecutive cnames to the available cname fields that pop up here in W3TC and then save settings?

    返信

    • WPBeginner Support

      You need to add CNAMEs you created with MAX CDN.

      • Adam Lindsey

        I seem to be having an issue as well. There is the long CNAME url.url.netdna.cdn.com that works, but if I use the cdn.tnmedia.com, cdn1.tnmedia.com, etc. It doesn’t work. Isn’t it better to have JS files pulling form one subdomain and have another pulled form a different one or am I way off base here?

    I love your site. I installed W3TC and set it up as you suggested. I’m on shared hosting. Now that it is installed, I’m getting emails from readers saying they can’t see our latest posts as they go up.

    Did I do something wrong?

    I set the browser cache settings step by step as you advised.

    What may have cause this new issue for my readers since installing the W3?

    Thanks.

    Thanks for the great article!!! As usual very well written and informative.
    Question: I now have a pretty clear idea about CDN, however for a regional or national only web site, will it still be benefitial to use it, as the hosting server(s) are already in the main cities, say close enough? As it seems to be a great thing for international web sites.
    Thank you

    Hey I have tried installing and managing with this plugin and I don’t own a cdn. do this plugin works with cdn better or we can try some extra efforts in settings to make this work better without cdn.

    Should we actually use caching plugin if we are not running up with cdn services (I am involving every cache plugin)

      W3 Total Caches works without CDN and is still very useful. However, using a CDN service will further boost your page load time.

    返信

    • avgjoegeek

      If setup properly? W3TC/MaxCDN and Cloudflare can significantly speed up your website.

      I used W3TC to configure to use MaxCDN. Then did a manual install for CloudFlare, You don’t need to configure it within W3TC. And it is fast… very fast once it’s all setup!

38. Andy Crichton

    Great article. I know just about enough to get myself in trouble, so I did ask the MaxCDN guys a lot of questions before and during setup. I asked a couple of times about the subdomains, I said it sounds cool and logical to have the 4 extra to serve certain files “instantly” – they said the difference in delivery is almost non existent, like 10ms. So I havent bothered. Have you really seen a significant difference with / without the 4 subdomains at work?

    thanks

    PS I didnt know about your affiiation before I signed up to MaxCDN, but anyone reading, wow, the company is brilliant! There was an issue with my forum plugin – when the CDN was installed, the theme broke if you did a quote, and also members couldnt login. MaxCDN analysed it and I gave them admin access and they sorted it. Also the delivery of the site (hosted in Colorado) now in Europe is down from 4 secs to 1.5 according to pingdom.

      Try turning off Database Caching, if that does not work, then you can try to optimize your WordPress database using phpMyAdmin.

    I installed Total Cache several weeks ago, and since then, using my backend has been a nightmare. Every time I tried to do anything in the backend, my browser (Firefox) would hang. I finally deactivated Total Cache today, and now my backend works just ducky.

    I’ve tried several times to install caching plugins (both W3 Total Cache and WP Super Cache) and in every case, my overall site performance takes a major hit as soon as the plugin is activated/configured.

    This time, I followed the instructions to the letter as shown above. However (as has occurred in every other time I’ve tried), load time throughout the site has at least tripled.

    The one thing I didn’t do in every case is get a CDN, due to the cost involved.

    So my question is this.. do the caching plugins only work in conjunction with a CDN?

    If so, is there any other way to speed up performance (aside from the obvious – removing plugins, etc). I use WP Optimize regularly.

          Turn off database caching if you are on shared hosting, it will bring your speed back up.

    I am planning to go for maxCDN but, i have a dilemma that, i use a sub-domain to store all my media files something like this – media.example.com. As a result Wp-Smush it plugin no more works and i have to compress images myself using png-gauntlet software in windows. Will this sub-domain also create any problem in switching to maxCDN ?

    返信

48. Jeremy Myers

    First, where is your “after” screen shot from Pingdom? That “before” test was pretty dang good, and I am curious to see if it actually improved.

    Second, I have done a lot of testing between W3 Total Cache and WP Super Cache. I agree with W3 has more options and seems to be a better plugin, but with W3, my server response time nearly tripled! It went from about .25 seconds to almost a full second. Why is this?

    Third, what about Cloudflare integration? Any suggestions one way or the other?

    返信

    • Denise Blackman

      Hi Jeremy. I don’t have the answer to the increased response time of your server with W3, but I had the same problem. Mine, however, was even more severe, with an increase to almost 1.25 sec. I wish someone could answer this. My host provider has no answer either. My personal guess is that the server that is hosting my account, which is a shared server, is over taxed. It is normally what happens when an account suddenly has major performance issues.

      In reference to CloudFlare, I have tried to integrate it, but had problems with my theme. I had to disable it. It made way too many changes to my CSS. I don’t know a lot about CloudFlare, and it sounded great. I just couldn’t figure out a way to make it work with my theme at all.

    One more step for MaxCDN : Add noindex to cdn contents to prevent Google from indexing CDN contents which will create duplicate content issues.

    It’s under Zones > Pull zones > SEO

    Check enable and use custom robots (with default code for robots.txt)

      Raghu,

      thanks for the heads-up. Do you mean I need to edit robots.txt or there are just default options that I need to check in Zones > Pull zones > SEO section?
