[Plugin: W3 Total Cache] Hostname:port / IP:port

  • Resolved Jaypee

    Was previously using WP Super Cache but been recently having issues with large traffic on my site so I want to try out W3 Total Cache. Asked my hosting provider to install Memcache on my server and when I tried installing W3 Total Cache, I got these errors:

    Page caching is not working properly. Memcached server(s): localhost:11211 may not running or not responding. This error message will automatically disappear once the issue is resolved.

    Minify is not working properly. Memcached server(s): localhost:11211may not running or not responding. This error message will automatically disappear once the issue is resolved.

    Database caching is not working properly. Memcached server(s): localhost:11211 may not running or not responding. This error message will automatically disappear once the issue is successfully resolved.

    Just wanna ask how I can find out the right hostname:port / IP:port to use for the plugin? Is there a way to check or do I need to ask my hosting provider for it? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

  • Mileage varies based on numerous factors, but those results sound that of the Litespeed web server.

    It’s with apache but
    – The 1.2-1.6 seconds I mentioned is just the actual serving of the initial page from the server, it does not include the full load of the web page with images, css, scripts, etc. But it’s the most relevant as far testing the page caching (right?).
    – The full load time 2.2 seconds is testing on pingdom, which doesn’t seem to completely traverse the javascripts and load all dependencies. it seems relevant for testing w3, which can only optimize the load from my server.
    – On webpagetest.org my total load time is around 5 seconds, down from around 8 seconds prior to w3.

    most of the remaining load is from adsense and blogads. I did try to add those to minify, but that didn’t work out too well (I had to try). Adding google analytics to minify is also a bad idea..

    It sounds like your server is either under-powered of fundamentally mis-configured.

    I’ve tried loading a static html page the same size as my wordpress main page (40 kb) and the page load is also about 1.6 seconds – 0.5 to connect, 0.7 to first byte, 0.4 to last byte.

    How long do you think this should take??

    (thanks for your input here)

    0.7s to first byte is quite high, I presume your testing on localhost? There are other issues with your server that have nothing to do with W3TC.

    Thanks Frederick.

    Testing was done using the pingdom web page test tool at https://www.pingdom.com/tools

    Try switching to the twentyten theme and doing the same time to first byte test with disk enhanced page caching already primed (visit the page while logged out prior to the test).
