W3 Total Cache - Drop in Rankings

Wondering if anyone has experienced an issue with this plugin.

I implemented this on my site two days ago and my page one rankings are gone, and one keyword is 3 pages back.

Way too early to to tell, but you know how it feels when your site disappears, right?

I think this may be like the recent penguin dance, we'll see. Hope to see it back soon.

I am speeding up my site, as I think this ranking factor has been given a small boost in the new algorithm update.

    I seriously doubt that plugin caused your ranking drop.

      O.K., I appreciate the responses and I guess the plugin has no relation to the rankings. If anything I should see a little increase soon due to faster load times.

      Its a great plugin, on one site I increased from 67/100 to 97/100 as measured by PageSpeed from Google.

      You know, with these updates it seems my competitors are not affected, just me.

      Thanks guys!

    I run this plugin on all the sites I've built - any change in Google rankings is unrelated. The only related thing is that the sites tend to display pages faster -- which is a good thing in Google's world.

    No, it doesn't have anything to do with that. It just so happens that Google just released another PR update right after you installed this plugin.

    By the way, PR means nothing these days (at least when it comes to ranking in serps). PR0s are constantly outranking PR4-5s in serps.
