Caching Questions with W3 Total Cache and Cloudflare

  • I noticed my site was taking some time to load so I downloaded W3 Total Cache to cache my site. It seemed to help a little but I was recommended Cloudflare by other bloggers to really make my site fast.

    Running both makes my site really fast but I have some trouble making sure my updates show up when I make changes to older posts. Does anyone have any experience running both of these together and what you do to ensure your updates show? Also, what settings do you recommend.

    My site is linked below.

  • Hi Stephanie,

    page rules for the relevant blog URL should do a good job. And you must install the official CF WP plugin to ensure real IP adresses show up for each blog post’s analytics.

    Hope that helps.

    Thanks Ruediger. I’ll take a look at the page rules. Are there specific rules you recommend? Also, what do you mean by real IP addresses showing up for blog post’s analytics? Is that the analytics in CF?

    Thanks

    W3 Total Cache offers a clear cache through the WordPress admin (dashboard). Try using this after making changes to your content through your WP dashboard.

    Cloudflare also offers a development mode which will temporarily deactivate their caching services.

    Thanks. I tried using the development mode on cloud flare and I think that helps. I think my biggest issue is with WP Total Cache but I think I just need to empty all caches after I update
