Compatibility with w3 total cache

Hi,
personally, I won’t recommend using them together, but technically you can. In that case you have to disable all page caching functionality of W3TC and also ensure that you do not have any other page caching system present at the server level. You may use W3TC for static file optimization.

Then you have to use this plugin which will handle the entire page caching stack. I generally recommend using other plugins like Perfmatters, and Autoptimize for static file optimization when using this plugin. As this is a dedicated page caching plugin, they are dedicated static file optimization plugins, so there are no compatibility issues.

Hi,

Im using autooptmize for static file optimization.

I’ll try out your plugin. Any tips how to configure your plugin for best results?

My website is mostly with news so there are a lot of articles. Homepage and another pages should be refreshed every time new post is published.

On my server I have memcached installed as I mentioned. I’m also using cloudflare.

Thank you

The default settings should work great. You should consider disabling Memcache so that there are not 2 caching systems competing with each other. Besides when pages are cached at Cloudflare CDN your server won’t even receive those requests reducing your server load.

Well I can simply not using memcached at all but I believe it can be enabled on the server right?

I’ll let you know about there results. I have a lot of JS files to be honest becasue I use a lot of analytics tools like charts on my website so I hope your plugin with cloudeflare will help with that. Also I use google fonts so this also slows downs a website a bit. fonts will be served via CDN as well?

– Memcache is a server level thing so yes you can enable/disable it at the server level.

I have a lot of JS files to be honest becasue I use a lot of analytics tools like charts on my website so I hope your plugin with cloudeflare will help with that.

– For implementing Analytics tools I will highly recommend you to use Cloudfalre Zaraz compared to GTM or other tools. It is blazing fast and doesn’t run all the crazy amount of scripts at the client side instead they are run at the Cloudflare worker level. Mind blowing stuffs.

Also I use google fonts so this also slows downs a website a bit. fonts will be served via CDN as well?

– If you are hosting the google fonts locally then yes they will be served from CF CDN else they will be served from Google CDN.

I mean financial analytics tools :D. So that won’t work ??

I’ll keep you posted. Thanks.

Which is better?

– Definately self hosting the font and serving them via Cloudflare. It will have much lower DNS lookups, calls and faster load.

– Why do you think that? Have you tried Zaraz? It works with almost everything.

OK I think I didn’t understand you correctly. How to properly enable Zaraz?

I mean I have for example plugin that display charts on my website in posts. How can I use it with Zaraz?

Plus also I have a question about Workers feature. Will this speed up my website as well?

Not sure how to enable it either :D..

How to properly enable Zaraz?

– Zaraz is a totally different service provided by Cloudflare and has nothing to do with this plugin. You can enable Zaraz from the Cloudflare dashboard: https://developers.cloudflare.com/zaraz/

I mean I have for example plugin that display charts on my website in posts. How can I use it with Zaraz?

– Think of Zaraz as a million times better alternative to Google Tag Manager. So, if you use GTM on your site, you can replace that with Zaraz for analytics, tracking pixel,s etc.

Plus also I have a question about Workers feature. Will this speed up my website as well?

– Worker is not for Speeding up your website. But with the upcoming release of the plugin, you can use the default page rule mode without the cache buster by taking advantage of Cloudflare Cache rules and other rules (depending on your Cloudflare Plan).

Once the new update of the plugin releases, head over to the “Other” tab inside the plugin settings, scroll down and you will find this new option along with the guide.
