W3 Total Cache: Database queries "not cached"

  • Hi,

    W3 Total Cache seems awesome. But in Debug Mode, I’m seeing that most queries keep coming up “not cached”. I have Database disk caching enabled, and this problem occurs on every page. Did I forget something?

    I am not logged in and I’ve taken index\.php out of the page caching exceptions.

    WordPress 3.0.1 and version of W3 Total Cache as downloaded today, by the way.

    Make sure your logged out of WordPress or use an alternate browser with freshly cleared cache and check again.

    Also normally not a great idea to cache db to disk.

    I’m sure disk isn’t the fastest way to cache database queries, but surely there is some benefit to it? My pages make a lot of queries (most of which is beyond my control), and so does WordPress in general.

    If your pages make a lot of queries then caching database to disk will actually slow your site down.

    My pages make a lot of queries (most of which is beyond my control), and so does WordPress in general.

    A well written theme without a bunch of plugins will only make around 15 to 20 queries per page. Some themes and plugins will increase the number to 200 to 300.

    @jorisw, as usual @c3mdigital is right. The option is available because it’s valuable in some cases.
