Many times WordPress bloggers feel confused and want to know if W3 Total Cache is working or not. They keep on fiddling with W3 Total Cache settings but don’t find a way to gauge if the plugin is working. Here I will tell you how to detect whether this plugin is functioning as desired. But before that I would like to say that newbie bloggers should not worry much about such things as caching. The main focus should be on good content, consistency, SEO and promotion of your blog. Caching is important but mostly when your blog is receiving fairly large traffic. Your focus should first be on having that kind of traffic. W3 Total Cache provides page cache, minification, database cache, object cache, browser cache and CDN. You can enable or disable any or all of these facilities. The plugin comes with a debug feature as well. This debug feature does tell you how your plugin is working.
Log into admin panel of your WP site. Go to Performance > General Settings in the sidebar Scroll down to the Debug section and check the boxes for caches that you wish to investigate. Now go to any of your website’s page and take right click on it. Select View Source to open source code of that page. Scroll down the source code. At the bottom of the code, you will see the commented text embedded by W3 Total Cache plugin. This text will give you information on how various caches are configured. If you see this text, your cache is working fine. Text would may look something like:
NOTE: If you have configured W3 Total Cache so as not to deliver cached pages to the logged in users, and you’re logged in —then you’ll see that cache is disabled. You should log out and then reload your webpage. Now you should see that cache is enabled. After I deactivated w3 total cache and install wp rocket in stead my website seem very slow to load server. so you guys have met this problem? Comment * Name * Email * Website
