   Ivan,

   What are the possible bad consequences of enabling your cache plugin on several sub-sites under a multisite WP installation? Would it totally break?

   The technique of DB caching seems superior to page caching but W3 Total Cache (which has that) is just WAY too complicated and some of my pages would not refresh at all, even with ctrl-F5. So I'm wanting yours to work since Caching is one of those system utilities that should just work quietly in the background so we humans can get on with OUR work and not babysit it.

   Good luck,
   Ron

   I have enabled it on my Multisite http://articles.architectjaved.com and there have been no problems with it...

   Ron, if you feel that W3 Total Cache is too complicated, you may want to try Hyper Cache which requires minimal setup. This plugin was the fastest among W3 Total Cache in a 2009 comparison.

   Another reportedly easy option is WP Super Cache, which is one of the featured plugins on the plugins front page.

   The speedup from DB Cache Reloaded (Fix) is likely small but worth a try after Ivan has time to incorporate the fixes that make the installation and activation easier.

   @RonStrilaeff, any other questions?

   Thanks for replying Fredrick. I abandoned DB-Cache-Reloaded, not sure why now.

   My two main production sites chowstalker.com and dessertstalker.com are using QuickCache which seems to have helped with the "First Byte Time", but webpagetest.org still gives me an "F" for "Cache Static Content" (which I thought was the main purpose of a caching plugin). But they are chugging along fine with no one complaining of downtime or slowness. They have issues with an inefficient, db-heavy plugin so will eventually be replaced with a new design to take advantage of the built in features of WP3.x, so I'm not worried about them until something breaks.

   For future projects I'd like to use something more robust (like W3 Total Cache or WP Super Cache), but I'm afraid I will need a university course to figure out how to make them work. Does W3TC work with out-of-the-box, default settings so I can just activate it and let it work in safe (but probably not optimal) mode?

   It should work out of the box and if it doesn't I would like to work with you to learn why, so please submit a bug submission form when you try it again if you have issue working through the installation instructions.

   Hi,

   I will install W3TC on a test site soon and let you know how it works out of the box. I probably just didn't think it through back then since I was sort of in panic mode when my site was "down". But I know more of the terminology now and it should make more sense.

   In case I need it, are you referring to the bug submission form here: http://wordpress.org/tags/w3-total-cache ?

   Thanks for your support!

   Ron

   No, the plugin itself has a support tab.

   "Cache Static Content" means images, javascript and css files. It's most likely a problem in your .htaccess file.

   Adding something like the following will enable browser side caching of static content

   <IfModule mod_mime.c>
       AddType text/css .css
       AddType application/x-javascript .js
       AddType text/x-component .htc
       AddType text/html .html .htm
       AddType text/richtext .rtf .rtx
