[Plugin: W3 Total Cache] recommened W3TC settings when used with squid

    Hello all,

    I have a site with 2 x web, 1 x mysql, 1 cdn + memcache server & 1x squid server.(reverse cache)

    We currently make use of pretty well all of W3TC including the CDN(self hosted).
    Page Cache, minify & Database Cache are all using memcached.
    Object Cache is using APC.

    I have a suspicion that a lot of these are not actually suitable when used with squid.

    What settings are recommended when used with squid ?
    Currently I have WP 3.0.1 & W3TC 0.9b.

    Also, Redbot reports a few things aren’t quite right either.

    • something is setting Vary: User-Agent (via .htaccess) and reports that this can cause cache inefficiency.
    • The ETag header’s syntax isn’t valid.

    Regards
    Mick

    A reverse proxy just reduces the load on the backend server or origin. There are no specific settings for squid. Optimize your application (WordPress) using W3TC.

    I believe I’ve already told you the optimal settings for your site. The remaining performance issues deal with theme/plugins and are outside the scope of support in this forum.

    I don’t think this is entirely correct. I also encountered a lot of problems when running Squid together with W3TC. Full report on http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-w3-total-cache-w3-total-cache-with-squid

    Frederick, where did you post the “optimal settings” for Mick? I’d love to take a look at them and see if I can use them on my own setup as well.
