Hey guys! This was such a weird experience for me 🤔. Did I do anything wrong? I also tried NOT to use Memcached and go with "Disk:Basic" for everything, but this just didn't made any difference... Let me know what you think, I'm always happy to learn. 😊
Hi Matt. how do you uninstall W3 total cache? If I uninstall it from plugins > installed plugins from the WP dashboard, do I have to manually remove anything from the control panel as well?
Hi there! Thanks for the question. Normally when you de-activate the plugin and then remove it, it should delete all its stuff by itself. So just go that route, should work fine 😀👍🏻
excellet video!! I followed your turtorial step by step and got my website from a D to a B. So W3 cache worked. I would appreciate it if you could to a similar video for WP Rocket step by step. I think that might offer better results. You have a new subscriber.
Hi there! Thanks for the comment! I’m glad I could help you out with this video. Yeah it kinda works, but indeed, WP Rocket is a way better system. I already did sir: How to Speed Up Your WordPress Website with WP Rocket ⚡Tutorial 2024 ruclips.net/video/t2cQf7GLVLQ/видео.html 😀😎
thanks for the video can you help me ? hi when I install/activate wp rocket my website crashes. I have already deactivated ALL plugins and then only activated WP Rocket and the website crashes again.
Hi Udo! You are very welcome! Thanks for the question. Yeah W3 total Cache is then not compatible with your hosting company and the way it works together with your WordPress installation... I recommend using another Speed Up Plugin like the premium WP Rocket: ruclips.net/video/t2cQf7GLVLQ/видео.html or the free Airlift plugin: ruclips.net/video/Ic5VTOvsez4/видео.html 😃 They should work way better than W3 Total Cache! Let me know if that helps, greetings
Did you clear the SG caching after u installed the plugin? The issue with SG is that you can not fully disable SG caching! Only if you modify some files....
Hi Machael! Great comment, thanks. Yeah I did cleared the cache inside the hosting panel. Also in the source code it was entirely stripped and compressed, so that gave me the idea all was well... What files do you need to modify then? Sounds interesting 😊
Hi there! That’s odd. Just delete the plugin and install it again, that might work! However, I do not recommend W3 Total Cache at all for your website…
@@WPressDoctor My website is new and fast without a cache plugin and most of them appear to be quite expensive but I know site speed is an SEO consideration Google takes into account so, is it okay to invest in a cache plugin later on once you start getting plenty of traffic and a substantial amount of money to pay for the plugins on a regular schedule?
@@WPressDoctor Okay, thank you so much. Another thing, you previously mentioned you don't recommend the W3 cache plugin. What cache plugin would you recommend to a guy who really doesn't want to fiddle through plenty of settings but still wants a cache plugin that would improve their site speed substantially?
Than this plugin is perfect: I use it on all my websites: How to Speed up Divi in 2023 | 4 simple POWERFUL steps ruclips.net/video/ekJpyGWOh5A/видео.html it works with every theme, not only Divi.
Im wondering if I have a cache problem...If I make an update to my site then post a link to that page...the link image is the old one, not the pone I update to....is there a away to speed this up?
Hi there! Thanks for your question. It’s the way caching works, however when updating paging or posts, the cache should auto empty cache so that the new content shows. So what you could do: empty caches - open your website in a new incognito screen - when working on your website, disable caching plugin entirely. Also make sure the caching of your hosting company also empties at the right time. Let me know if that works
Hi Matt, Weird indeed ! again, fabulous tutorial. I wanted to use W3 Total cache because it has object caching included. When I use the Redis plugin,(my hosting co uses redis) nothing works and I can't connect it to Wp. When making changes in the cache plugin php, adding the ip address to the host nam'e broke the site. and using the hostname 'host' doesn't work either. ports set up, pw and other settings defined in the php config. With W3 3 cache, object caching works fine. Do you have a solution for this please? I need to install object caching. But obviously, total cache is not the answer. Thank you, best regards,
Hi Andrea, thanks for the question. Unfortunately I have tried a lot of different free caching plugins ans also some paid ones. WP Rocket really stays the best out there. So no, there is no other free plugin that I know of.
Unfortunatelly minifying of this plugin is changing the colors of element on my websites edited in elementor.... My hosting does not support litespeeds connection with memcached or redis, so I have to try plugins like this one when the feature works.
Hi there! Thanks for the comment. Well I would try also this free plugin: Speed up WordPress with FREE Plugin ⚡ Airlift Tutorial 2024 ruclips.net/video/Ic5VTOvsez4/видео.html might do the job better 👍🏻😀
Hello. I followed your steps, but suddenly I got a blank page in the middle of the tutorial. Now I am not even able to access my WP admin and the website has disappeared… what can I do now ?
Hi there! That’s not good. Might be the reason why I don’t advice you to use this plugin for caching… login via FTP or file manager via hosting and delete the folder containing the plugin 👍🏻😀
hello sir how do you do i hope you are great i want to ask you aquestion if you may answer me it is about the NULLED products that is hacked and offered for free i want to know how can i know that it is not with any codes that may be dangerous to my website and also i want to know your opinion about using it from a technical view thank you very much sir 💕💕
Hi there sir. Thank you for your honest question. I would not use NULLED products because there always will be a catch to it. You never know if malicious files are in there and if there is a backflip inside of it. Also no updates 😓
Hi Nelson! Thanks for your question. Unfortunately there is no free version of WP Rocket, only a premium version. However, they do have a 30-day money back guarantee. So you can “test” it.
Hi Jacque! Yes there is one over here, I have created it with Divi, but you can use it with any kind of theme: ruclips.net/video/ekJpyGWOh5A/видео.html Let me know if this was useful for you! 😀
Yes, WP Rocket does the best job. Combinable with Imagify. Also EWWW with SWIS does a great job. Ewww does support avif, which is more powerful than webp
My thoughts: a disclaimer at the beginning would have been the kind and sensitive thing to do. Wasted 30min I sadly didn't even have when I could have just been told to skip to the different approach and be set in 3min.
how the fook do I unlink this w3 with my google I just linked ,. I followed all the steps trusted you ,. in the end you fooked ,. by deleting the plugin,.. hahah
HI Charith! Thank you for your comment on the W3 Total Cache Tutorial. Hahaha guess what, it wasn't your fault 😂😂 Which caching plugin are you using now? Have a great day and take care, greetings
Hi Joe! That’s a good question. The next time I will check all scores on the 3 platforms. Normally I do, but this was more about how to set it up… but your right, should have been in there 😀
