Too Complex and Doesn't Work

This plug is so complex and messed up that it requires you to pay someone to set it up.

I’ve setup W# plugin on more than a dozen sites including Shared Hosting,
VPS, Dedicated Servers, and it has failed every time. Yes Failed.

You might think I’m stupid. Maybe. But I have over 50 sites under management and when a plugin is this complex and sloppy in its implementation, I think it ain’t me.

The plugin can’t give you the right setup specs for the plugin to work. The unknown status for server setups is left in a neutral color. Setup W3 Total Cache without the right apache handler in place, and your site will suffer.

So first off, the developer give no clues as to the importance of the server setup specs . . . all neutral colors, no warnings. But that is kind of like removing the oil or gas gauges on your car. You have to run out of gas or freeze up your engine before you know status of your gas level or how hot your engine is getting.

So from the get go, this plugin is a failure . . . or they just want you to pay to get it setup.

I’ve written into the developer two years ago and again a year ago, and, well, all I have to assume is he cares only for getting the setup money. If you want to set it up and use the FREE version, why should he care that it doesn’t work or doesn’t give you appropriate and expected information to make it work.

Why would I wait this long to write a review. My choice for all website setups using WordPress WP Fastest Cacehe.

It is simple, clean, and works to improve site speed on Shared, VPS and Dedicated servers. It work with NGNIX or not.

I actually have a lot more to say about why W3 is a non-starter. But I’ll leave it at this: If you want to drive your car without an oil gauge, then use W3 Total Cache, but then be prepared to pay the price: a slow site or a payment to get the plugin setup correctly.
