Will W3 Total Cache change anything inside the theme?

    I’m a novice to WordPress development and I’m working on a freelance project. Currently I’m developing a custom theme and I’m planning to optimize (minify) my CSS, JavaScript, and image assets. I’ve researched a bit about Webpack and its optimization plugins but I got overwhelmed by its complexity. I’ve heard W3 Total Cache and want to give it a try but my only concern is… will it change anything inside my theme? Because eventually there will be minified assets, and I hope this plugin store and load it elsewhere and keep the theme folder untouched.

    Thanks!

    Hello @ihsansfd

    Thank you for reaching out and I am happy to assist you with this.
    Naturally, the W3 Total cache does not mess with any theme files or any other plugin files.
    The theme folder will not be touched by W3 Total Cache. As with any theme, it may load some JS and CSS files, and if Minify is enabled in the W3 Total Cache, those files may be minified and stored in the /wp-content/cache/minify/ folder. This only means that these minified files will be used instead, but the theme files will not be touched.
    I hope this answers your question.
    Thanks!
