• I am using W3TC and it has added the following code to my root htaccess file. Do I really need this? What can I delete?

    Thanks, Brigit

  • Those directives are tuned to the settings you have made in WP Admin, yes you need it all for a complete tuning of your server. The reason is because hosting is not tuned for your needs when you sign up (and it shouldn’t be unless your host is specializing, even still use cases and applications vary), so W3TC is doing this for you.
