    Hello Umberto,

    Thank you for reaching out and I am happy to help!
    The optimal W3 Total Cache configuration takes into account a number of factors: your theme, your plugins, and the technologies available on the server. Since everyone’s site and traffic and theme are different, there is no one-size-fits-all solution.

    What should be also be taken into consideration are the idiosyncrasies of Web Performance Optimization (WPO) in a WordPress context. What this means is that WPO best practices have to be modified for WordPress because of how the application operates. The number of counter-intuitive realities could fill a small book.

    This means that the best configuration for your site might not involve enabling minify, database caching, and other things that you might expect. As a matter of fact, it can actually hurt performance by implementing features for the wrong situation.

    This being said, The W3TC configuration of your website depends on your needs and your resources.
    I can see that you are using Cloudflare, which is a form of caching, however, W3 Total Cache works great with Cloudflare so you should check our article about connecting the W3TC with Cloudflare.

    Page Caching, Browser Cache, and Object Caching are just some of the things you should enable and use in the W3 Total Cache. The Minify option is also helpful, however, since you are using Cloudflare, Minify may also be enabled there by default.
    I hope this helps!
    Thanks!
