WordPress.org

I wanted it to speed up my website and it did just that!

Considerably increased the speed of my blog!!!!

Some learning curve, but the end results are great!

This is a wonderful contribution to the WordPress community. I'm using it with the Avada theme and it works very well.

All I'm gonna say is be patient and figure it out! Took me about 2 weeks to get it going! And whatever you don't update to version 0.9.2.6 or 7.
Use this version until later versions work like they should!

0.9.2.5

Probably took me longer than normal to get things working!

Also supports MaxCDN. I use it on my half dozen blogs.

Works exactly as it states.

I run a popular online adventure travel magazine and as traffic kept increasing and the site had more and more photography content on it and lots of plugins running to make everything work, page load times got slower and slower and hosting resources were being pushed to their limits. I've tested out all the other caching plugins and have found W3 total cache to be the hands-down winner. Combined with Cloudflare (which is easy to connect to W3tc) the site loads very quickly and has no problem handling heavy traffic now.

It's worth fiddling with the options to find exactly the right combination that works for your individual site. While some other caching plugins don't require any time to set-up, the results just don't compare!

I have tested almost all of the website speed up plugin, and W3 is the best!

Compatible with the new wordpress updates.
