W3 Total Cache and WordPress.com Stats makes Firefox crash?

  • Hi,

    I’m running a site with W3 Total Cache enabled and as soon as I enable the WordPress.com stats plugin… Firefox will crash and it seems pretty random, but about once every third minute or so if you browse around randomly on the page. Other browsers doesn’t seem to crash at all.

    The funny thing is that exactly the same thing seems to happen if I enable WP Super Cache (default settings)

    Have any of you guys seen this sort of behaviour with WP stats and W3 Total cache before? Any solutions come to mind?

    Site info:
    Wordpress: 2.9.1
    W3 Total Cache: 0.8.5.1 (With default settings, nothing changd)
    Wordpress.com Stats: 1.6.1

    Server info:
    PHP Version 5.2.
    MySQL version: 5.0.75
    Apache version: 20051115

  • I’m confident that these are not related. My personal blog has exactly the same configuration. Anyway, what you can try is disabling HTML minification or gzip compression and see if that makes a difference. Either way I don’t think the answer to a JavaScript issue is going to be found in the caching plugin you use.

    Just further to this can anyone confirm if WP stats works with this plugin?

    Doesn’t seem to be working properly for me – count is showing only one or two visits on a site that gets over 600

    If you mean WordPress.com stats, then it works fine as the plugin counter loads using an image that is loaded from an external site.

    If it’s a plugin that records to your database then it might not work, depending on how it collects that info.

    Can someone make it clear for us?
    I have the same impression as OzPoker had, once I activated W3 Total Cache my WordPress.com Stats (the analytics plugin for self hosted WP) started showing a lot less visits. When the day starts it shows zero visits for a while, but there are new comments – meaning that there are new visits.

    I didn’t choose the analytics files to be minified, and I wouldn’t mind loosing some stats if I gain a lot on the other end (performance).

    WP 3.0.1
    WP.com stats is the latest version
    W3 Total Cache is the “develoment” version

    With default settings, W3TC has no effect on WordPress.com stats.
