[Plugin: W3 Total Cache] Weird string attached to end of files

  • I think that’s another plugin. One of the social media plugins, maybe AddThis? The unique URL helps track how articles are shared.

    Thank you for the reply.

    I know for sure it is W3TC. Not only do I not have Addthis installed but I disabled browser cache in W3TC to check and it went away.

    Does it add the string to just pages and posts, or to jpeg urls and other stuff like that as well?

    It is actually to just download links and images in old posts — not in pages or posts at all.

    that’s generated from the options in browser cache settings
    Prevent caching of objects after settings change
    Whenever settings are changed, a new query string will be generated and appended to objects allowing the new policy to be applied.

    the hex string after the ? is a query string
    Under most circumstances, you should disable this option

    Thanks. I’m not sure why I had that enabled.

    What @bheadrick said is the solution.
