Disabling W3 Total Cache?

    Hi,

    In order to use the Falcon engine caching, I am advised I need to remove W3 Total Cache?

    I’m using minify in a different plugin so that’s not an issue. However, I have Database, Browser, and Object caching enabled. Are these part of the Falcon caching engine? Or will the benefit of Falcons cache outweight these?

    I also have Cloudfare activated through W3 Total Cache, although there are other free options for this.

    Could you please advise if Wordfence’s caching would still be better?

    Thanks!

    I disabled W3 Total Cache, and enabled the Falcon cache but noticed barely any difference compared to having W3 disabled…

    With W3 enabled, my share bar and pop up bar loaded a split second after the rest of the pages content.

    With W3 disabled, and Falcon enabled, my share bar and pop up bar loaded about a second or two after the rest of the content.

    Am I supposed to do something else? Or is it the fact that Cloudflare CDN isn’t being used now as that was part of W3?

    Thanks!

    With Cloudflare, I think you have to use the Cloudflare plugin (though Damon could probably elaborate better – their support rocks BTW). I think that it might not be showing you the cached site. You can view the cache by clicking the button on the performance options page or checking the box to add a line of code at the bottom of the cached page. When I tested it I had to come from a proxied browser to see it.

    Let me know if this helps.
