Hello,
Thank you for reaching out and I am happy to help!
The W3 Total Cache uses the rewrite capabilities of your server to serve the images as a webp.
All images converted with the Image Service tool are sent to a third-party server maintained by the W3 Total Cache team which reduces resource consumption and allows for a large number of conversions in environments where resources can be limited such as shared hosting. Images sent to the W3TC server for conversion are only held temporarily and no permanent information is kept on the server regarding the images.
The images are converted:

I hope this answers your questions.
Thanks!

Thank you for reaching out and I am happy to help!
Can you please share which caching method you are using in the W3 Total Cache Performance>General Settings for Object Caching?
If it’s set to disk, please disable this option purge the cache, and manually remove the wp-content/cache/object folder.
Let me know if this helps!Thanks!
Marko VasiljevicKeymasterHello Erwin,
Thank you for reaching out and I am happy to help!
You can disable Fragment Caching in W3 Total Cache Performance>Extensions, and click on Deactivate.
As for the PHP warning, make sure that the Caching method is selected for Fragment Cache in Performanc>General settings – Fragment caching.
The second part should not be needed if the Fragment Cache is disabled.

Thank you for reaching out and I am happy to assist you with this.
I’ve checked your website and I can see that you have some other caching plugin installed and the W3 Total Cache is not active.
Can you please confirm that you installed another plugin?

Thanks!September 14, 2023 at 12:40 pm in reply to: Critical Cache Management Issues in W3 Total Cache Plugin #105574Marko VasiljevicKeymasterHello Micha,
Thank you for reaching out and I am happy to help.
This is not a bug in W3 Total Cache, and there are a lot of factors when it comes to the cache refresh and cache purging.
The ‘Expires header lifetime’ value is the Browser Cache value – header.
_old files are created when the cache is purged.
It’s fine to have _old files. If you always have only _old files – that’s a sign something purges the cache all the time. Like theme or some plugin.
Depending on the configuration in Performance>Page Cache>Purge policy, the cache can be purged once the content is updated or a new article is created.
As mentioned above, some plugins or themes may call the purge of the cache if they are using the filter that exists in the W3 Total Cache.
To be safe, please check your Purge log in Performance>General settings>Debug>PageCache purge log and see what is calling the cache purge.

Thank you for reaching out.
As I’ve mentioned in the previous topic, please reach out to us directly via the W3 Total Cache plugin in Performance>Support or via the website contact form.
This is a public forum, and because of that I removed the emails and I cannot share the license key here.
We are awaiting your email.
Thanks!Marko VasiljevicKeymasterHello Cynthia,
As I’ve mentioned before, the problem with GPS is the external resources that are loading on your website.
And as I explained before, the 3rd party resources cannot be optimized by the W3 Total Cache.
If you check the opportunity tabs in google page speed you can see the following:
Removing those resources would mean removing gta, facebook and any other scripts that are loading on your website.Marko VasiljevicKeymasterHello Cynthia,
Every test I performed suggests that the website is in optimal condition.
The time to the first byte is excellent and there are no issues with caching. Additionally, you are serving the website from Cloudflare.
Please see the Gtmetrix report below:
As for Minify, You are using Cloudflare Minify as I can see, however, you can check if Minify is enabled in the Performance>General settings. Please note that is not recommended to use more than one minify solution.
Thanks!Marko VasiljevicKeymasterHello William,
Please reach out via the W3 Total Cache support channel via the plugin in Performance>SUpport and provide the payment details so we can check for this and provide you with the account nad license access.
Thanks!Marko VasiljevicKeymasterHello Will,
Thank you for reaching out and I am happy to help!
Currently, we are not offering any trial Pro licenses for the W3 Total Cache, or offering monthly payments for the license.
Can you please share which Pro option you are looking for to improve the performance of your website?
Thanks!Marko VasiljevicKeymasterThank you for your feedback.
The results may vary, however I’ve attached the test from mobile as well below:

Marko VasiljevicKeymasterHello Cynthia,
Thank you for reaching out.
I’ve tested your website and the speed is great with the W3 Total Cache.
I’ve uploaded the Google Page speed score from Lighthouse, and the score is awesome.
The speed is the same using the webpagetest in all 3 rungs when I tested.
The “yellow bars” are related to the external files loading on your website (facebook, google ads, etc)
Marko VasiljevicKeymasterHello Otso,
I am sorry about the issue you are experiencing and I am happy to help!
First, we should determine which option in W3 Total Cache may be causing the issue.
Can you please disable W3 Total Cache settings one by one, save settings, and purge the cache after you disable each setting and see which one might be causing this?
Thank you!Marko VasiljevicKeymasterHello Emmi,
Thank you for reaching out and I am happy that the CDN functionality in W3 Total Cache works great for you.
Unfortunately, the CDN feature is integrated into the W3 Total Cache, and making a separate plugin for this would be a lot of work.
I understand that you may not need any other caching features, however, you can simply keep all other settings disabled in the W3 Total Cache, using only the CDN feature to serve static assets from the CDN.
I hope this helps!
Thanks!Marko VasiljevicKeymasterHello Marko,
I am sorry about the issue you are experiencing and I am happy to assist you with this.
I’ve replied to the wp.org forum topic regarding this issue with the W3 Total Cache configuration.
Please continue the correspondence there so we can avoid duplicating the answers.
Thanks!Marko VasiljevicKeymasterHello Ricard,
Thank you for reaching out and I am happy to help!
Can you please share if this section is on a specific page (and share the URL of the page if possible) or is it embedded in the one-page website?
In W3 Total Cache you can exclude pages from being cached in Performance>Page Cache>Advanced>” Never Cache following pages” or, you can use Page Fragment Cache to wrap the specific PHP code withand therefore exclude this part of the page from being cached. Please check the FAQ in the link provided for more details about Page Fragment Cache.
I hope this helps!
Thanks!
Marko VasiljevicKeymasterHello Rosen,
Thank you for reaching out and I am happy to assist you with this.
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, traffic and theme are different, there is no one-size-fits-all solution.This service also takes into account 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.
In your case, the most problematic things are the unused scripts that are loading on your website. Unfortunately, since those are all external scripts, meaning 3rd party scripts loading from another server on your website, those files cannot be optimized.
The second thing is render-blocking resources. I’ve noticed that you’re using Cloudflare so, please check if Minify is enabled there. If so, disable it and use W3 Total Cache Minify, to minify JS and CSS files.
The Pro version of the plugin offers additional features, that can be used to improve the performance and resolve the Google page speed issues.
I would however recommend a full website Performance Audit as a Premium support solution.Thanks!
Marko VasiljevicKeymasterHello Kevin,
Thank you for reaching out and I am happy to assist you with this.
If convenient, can you please share your website URL?
In the Woocommerce settings, there should be a setting to Ajax add to cart for WooCommerce. This will bypass the cache and load the cart dynamically with W3 Total Cache.
Also, check if the cache control and expires header is set for the HTML&XML section in Performance>Browser Cache and disable it, save all settings, and purge the cache.
Make sure that the option “Don’t cache pages for logged-in users” is enabled in Performance>Page Cache.Let me know if this helps!
Thanks!
Marko VasiljevicKeymasterHello Patrick,
Thank you for reaching out and I am happy to assist you with this.
The page is cached in W3 Total Cache once visited, however, if you purge the current page while logged in you can see the string ?w3tc_note=pgcache_purge_post added to the URL or ?w3tc_note=flush_all if you purge all cache.Let me know if this helps!
Thanks!
Marko VasiljevicKeymasterHello Nico,
As Per our conversation via the W3 Total Cache support channel, this is now solved and we closed the ticket.
Thanks!Marko VasiljevicKeymasterHello
Thank you for reaching out and I am happy to answer your question about the W3 Total Cache Pro license
- No, we are not offering NY free trials at the moment.
- Yes, we are offering a 30-day money-back guarantee.
- 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.
W3 Total Cache will make your website faster and that is a fact, however, there are some Google Page speed suggestions that are outside of any plugin scope. For example, in your case, there are some issues with unused CSS. And this is something that W3 Tota Cache cannot do. W3TC can optimize, minify and cache minified CSS and eliminate render-blocking resources, but it cannot remove unused CSS/JS, and no plugin can, because W3TC cannot know if the CSS loading on a s specific page by any other plugin or a theme should load on that page
Before you purchase the license, please let me know what you are trying to achieve so I can suggest the proper solution for you.
Thanks!
Marko VasiljevicKeymasterHello Suraj,
Thank you for reaching out and I am happy to assist you with this.
There are two ways to achieve this. The first and the best one is to fire. the login process using ajax which will bypass the cache.
Alternatively, you can use Page Fragment Cache and wrap the specific PHP code withreplacing the PHP code and excluding the part of the page from being cached.
You can check more details on our FAQ page.Thanks!
Marko VasiljevicKeymasterHello

Yes, you can find the information about configuring FSD CDN with Cloudfront on our W3 Total cache wiki page.
Please check this link for more information.Thanks!
Marko VasiljevicKeymasterHello,
Thank you for reaching out and I am happy to help!
We are aware of this issue and we have a ticket open for this in the W3 Total Cache Github repository.
Please add any comments in the ticket below:
https://github.com/BoldGrid/w3-total-cache/issues/243Thanks!
Marko VasiljevicKeymasterHello,
This should be done in the template where this cart is executed, for example, the header.php
there instead of the PHP tags, you should wrap the code withas suggested in the FAQ.
Thanks!August 16, 2023 at 9:19 am in reply to: how to exclude our wp-login.php page from being cached? #101520Marko VasiljevicKeymasterHey Ross,
You are most welcome!
We would really appreciate it if you could take a minute and post a review here. This will help us to continue offering a top-notch product to users.
Thanks!Marko VasiljevicKeymasterHey Tim,
Thank you for your feedback.
I am asking this because I can see the following headers:
X-Cdn-Cache-Status:
X-Origin-Cache-Status:Can you please let me know about these?
Thanks!August 15, 2023 at 9:11 am in reply to: how to exclude our wp-login.php page from being cached? #101369Marko VasiljevicKeymasterHello Ross,
I am sorry about the issue you are experiencing and I am happy to assist you with this.
I’ve checked your website and in the password reset link: https://kwik-wall.com/wp-login.php?action=lostpassword&redirect_to=portal-landing-page
I’ve checked the sources and this page is not being cached since it contains a query
Page Caching using disk (Requested URI contains query)
Can you please disable W3 Total Cache and see if the issue persists, since you mentioned that if you deactivate Paid Membership Pro the issue goes away?
If the issue is not there when the W3 Total Cache is disabled, it means that the problem is not related to the W3TC. If the issue is gone, please disable the settings one by one in Performance>General settings, save all settings and purge the cache after each setting is disabled, and see which option may be causing the problem.
Also, in Performance>Page Cache, make sure that the option “Don’t cache pages for logged-in users” is enabled.Thanks!
Marko VasiljevicKeymasterHello Tim,
Is there any additional layer of caching like server-side caching or CDN?
Thanks!Marko VasiljevicKeymasterHello,
Thank you for your feedback.
Inspect the source of the page, scroll down to the W3TC Html snippet and check the page cache status if the cookie is loaded.
Thanks!Marko VasiljevicKeymasterHello,
You have created two new but the same topics which are duplicates of the first one.
Please reach out to us via the website contact form.
Thanks!Marko VasiljevicKeymasterHello Manny,
Thank you for reaching out and I am happy to assist you with this
In W3 Total Cache, you can exclude specific pages from being cached or minified in Performance>Page Cache>” Never Cache following pages” and Performance>Minify>”Never Minify following pages”.
So for example if the page you wish to exclude is https://yourwebsite.com/users/
You simply need to add/users/
to Never Cache following Pages filed or Never Minify following pages if you also do not want this page to be minified.As mentioned in the documentation you shared, you can also exclude pages that contain specific cookie from being cached in Performance>Page Cache>Advanced> Rejected cookies: and add the cookies to the list.
I hope this helps!
Thanks!
Marko VasiljevicKeymasterHello,
Thank you for reaching out and I am happy to assist you with this.
Please reach out to us directly via the plugin in Performance>Support or the support button in the upper right corner of the W3 Total Cache dashboard, so we can discuss this as this is a public form and we should not share any sensitive information.
Thanks!Marko VasiljevicKeymasterHello,
Thank you for reaching out and I am happy to assist you with this.
There are two ways to approach this. The first is to check the plugin you are using for the cart to see if there is an Ajax option that will bypass the cache and keep the cart icon dynamic.
Alternatively, you can use Page Fragment Cache in W3 Total Cache. Please check more in our FAQ for more details about Page Fragment Caching.
With this, you can wrap a specific code withand exclude it from the cache.
To confirm this is related to Page Caching, please let me know if the issue persists when you disable Page Cache, and also, let me know if you have any additional layers of caching like server-side caching or similar.THanks!
Marko VasiljevicKeymasterHello,
Thank you for reaching out and I am happy to assist you with this.
What you are seeing are not the error messages. Those are W3 Total Cache notifications.
As you can see, the Permissions are set to 777 and you should set them to 755, and since you are on the Nginx environment, you should restart your nginx for the specific rules to be applied.
Thanks!August 4, 2023 at 12:09 pm in reply to: DB Cluster still doesn’t appear to be orking post 2.4.0 update #100032Marko VasiljevicKeymasterHello Torlock,
Thank you for reaching out.
The drop-in should be –db-cluster-config.php
Please manually delete the db.php and db-cluster-config.php. Go to W3 Total Cache and enable DB cluster.
As mentioned before, you need to edit the db-cluster-config.php and once you are prompted to edit Database Cluster Configuration File, instead of using the entire example, use the following:<?php global $w3tc_dbcluster_config; $w3tc_dbcluster_config = array( 'databases' => array( 'master' => array( 'host' => DB_HOST, 'user' => DB_USER, 'password' => DB_PASSWORD, 'name' => DB_NAME ), 'slave' => array( 'host' => DB_HOST, 'user' => DB_USER, 'password' => DB_PASSWORD, 'name' => DB_NAME, 'write' => false, 'read' => true, 'timeout' => 0.2 ), ) );
Once you finish and save the config file, you can inspect the source in backend and you will see the following W3TC HTML snippet:
<!-- Performance optimized by W3 Total Cache. Learn more: https://www.boldgrid.com/w3-total-cache/ <strong>Database cluster enabled </strong> Served from: yourwebsite.com @ 2023-08-04 16:40:16 by W3 Total Cache -->
