    Hi, I’m only using lazyload feature of W3 total cache. For cache and minify, I’m using wp rocket.
    Actually, other plugins of lazyloading are not working correctly on my site. that’s why i am using w3tc plugin lazy loading feature which is working perfectly for me.

    Can you please tell what is the best way that it does not interfere with WP rocket caching as in my files directory, I have checked that w3tc has also created a caching folder.

    Looking forward to your response.

  • I don’t think using 2 caching plugin would be a good idea.

    perhaps you could take a look at Autoptimize plugin for the minify and choose one if the other for the caching

    alternatively you could take a look at Perfmatters (paid plugin) for the minify and lazyloading

    Hello @asjad492

    Thank you for reaching out.
    It’s not recommended to use more than one caching solution on your website and we do not recommend using any other caching plugin besides W3 Total Cache.
    So if you choose to use both plugins, understand that you are doing this at your own risk.
    W3 Total Cache does create a cache folder on wp-content and the page cache files are created there along with minify, object, and db files.
    In theory, you should disable all features in Performance>General settings except LazyLoading feature and it should work without conflicting with the other plugin.
    However, once again, this is not recommended and I would advise only using W3 Total Cache.
    Thanks!

    Actually, I wanted to only use lazy loading feature from w3tc plugin. I have disabled all other options. that’s why I’m trying to kmnow is it fine to use w3tc with wp rocket?

    for increasing speed, w3tc didnt work for me nor autoptimize. Thats why I am using wp rocket.

    Don’t you guysz have separate plugin for only lazy loading just like WP rocket has created?
    Your lazy loading feature is working greatly with my site. So, I don’t want to lose it.

    Hello @asjad492

    No, we do not have a separate plugin as W3TC is the free plugin.
    AS I said you can try using it and there should not be any issues if all other features are disabled.
    Thanks!
