Optimal setup along with W3 Total Cache

    I recently started using your plugin along with W3 Total Cache. The plugin Test passes and it seems to be caching pages fine. To make your plugin work, I had to disable W3 Total Cache’s Page Cache and Browser Cache.

    When I go to W3 Total Cache settings it now returns “The Page Cache add-in file advanced-cache.php is not a W3 Total Cache drop-in. It should be removed.” I assume this is due to the fact that I’m using both plugins.

    1. Is there any optimal settings I should have in order for both plugins to work cohesively?
    2. Is there even any point in keeping W3 Total Cache enabled? e.g. Is there any benefit of keeping both plugins enabled?

    Hi @officezen,
    Personally, I would recommend not using W3 Total Cache with this plugin as it is basically a page caching plugin at it’s core. Instead I would recommend using Perfmatters which is an amazing plugin and it takes care of all optimizations (outside of page caching and image optimization). Also perfmatters has no conflict with page caching plugins as it is not a page caching plugin.

    For image optimization, you should definitely try out Optimole. It will take care of all your image optimizations.

    But for some reason if you would like to stick with W3 Total Cache then you can continue using it the way you are doing it. But the recommendations I’ve given above will give you much better result.
