GWT Site Performance Slower After W3 Total Cache
-
I finally recently started using W3C Total Cache. It installed perfectly, I got all of my settings where I wanted them, and I setup a CDN using RackSpace for the majority of CSS, JS, and image files. After getting everything going, our Google Page Speed score has increased and our YSlow grade has increased. These both seem like solid improvements.
Before using W3 Total Cache, the Labs->Site Performance area in Google Webmaster Tools was reporting that the average pages on our site take 6.1 seconds to load, which was quite a bit slower than most other sites, it said. Now, after starting to use W3 Total Cache and letting everything settle in, Google Webmaster Tools is reporting the average pages on our site take 6.5 seconds to load.
Nothing else has changed except that we started using W3 Total Cache. I don’t understand how with all of the improvements we’ve made, the page load time has increased. It seems pointless as I figured we’d greatly increase this number. Any suggestions or thoughts here?
