Slow to First Byte

That’s because page caching isn’t actually working. I can check easily by seeing that the date/time stamp at the bottom of your HTML source is changing on every page view and I’m not logged in to your site (in which case caching by default is off).

Are you sure permissions are correct on the cache directory? I suggest going through the installation instructions from the start again.

Thanks for the reply Frederick,

What is the “cache directory”

where would I find the permissions for my cache directory?

Is that in my server files? under w3tc plugin?

is this the caceh directory you speak of and is it wrong?

I think i got the caching working (or maybe not?). I changed the wpcontent permissions and reinstalled. I got my score on webpagetest to 99 but i still get an “F” for TTFB

I dropped back down to a 97 but got the TTFB from an “F” to a “B”

On Google page speed I have 2 new low priorities to “remove Querry strings” having to do with W3tc, any idea how to fix this?

I guess W3tc is still not working properly since the time that my site is served by W3tc changes as is evident from my source code.

I did as Frederick suggested and started over and it has not resolved this issue.

I do see a file in my wp-content and am wondering if it is left over from another caching plugin and might be casuing conflict?
it is wp-cache-config.php

thanks

That did sound like progress. If you wish, you can submit a bug submission form from the support tab of the plugin for a closer look.
