Plugin: W3 Total Cache Compatibility Test

Yes, start with the default settings.

Hi Frederick,
I have the same warnings in the compatibility test. What are they required for?

I am looking at using a CDN as well, will they be required for that? I am looking at using either MAXCDN or VPS.NETs Level3 CDN services (Just in case you need to know this).

What is:

Opcode cache: Not installed
Memcache extension: Not installed
Mime type detection: Not installed

used for?

Thanks for what looks like an amazing plugin!

Do you have a dedicated, virtual dedicated or multiple servers? If not, they are not important. The notes inside the drop down menus on the general settings tab tell you where these options are applicable.

I don’t have a dedicated, virtual dedicated or multiple servers … yet – but we are looking into it. We are trying this to see if we can get the site speed up a little bit better before moving to that.

I think we just need to get off the shared server we are on. So if we go to a virtual cloud based server, I just need to keep in mind that I need to make sure that these 3 things are installed — is that correct?

Thanks again for the quick response, and the slick plugin!

You’re welcome.

Sorry to bother you again, could you confirm this for me:

refering to:

Opcode cache
Memcache extension
Mime type detection

Thanks

Memcache is likely not necessary for you, the others yes.
