How do your plugins work along side Yoast SEO and W3 Total Cache? As I prepare to release my new site by the end of the year I will be using these 2 very popular plugins to help with site speed and SEO.

Are there any known problems or thing I should be aware of?

Thanks a mil,

Adrian

Are there any particular parts of the plugins that are more affected by caching than others?

What I mean is… if it’s only the MAP that is affected by caching then perhaps I could exclude that from caching and cache the rest?

Thanks guys,

Adrian

Searching for cache in the forum will give you more results if you want to find out more.

PHP caching isn’t really that effective, it will end up slowing down everything if the server isn’t powerful enough to handle it.

Tested on GeoTheme.com we stopped using it and never try again.

On our dedicated server with nginx and fastcgi installed, webiste was loading over 1 second faster without w3tc installed.

My 2 cents,

Thx

I have enabled compression (GZIP) on my control panel on the server… seems to certainly help things… without caching… just hope it doesn’t break anything!

However in some server with very low resources, it will take more time to compress it, that the time saved because of smaller files download.

My answer is, 99% of the time yes, but with low end server it could even slow it down.

thx
