Anyone using W3 total cache plugin?

Hello warriors.

Does anyone use W3 total cache plugin? If yes, then what are your configurations?

I want to use it without CDN (since my site is quite small).

I just installed it and it worked well, got score 93/100 (before 74/100), but suddenly my page went blank so I had to deactivate the plugin.

Does anyone have some reliable tutorials or configurations that work?

Cheers

    W3 Total Cache is a staple in my plugin library. I love it.

    I use it without CDN on my niche site. I talk about the plugin (as well as a couple other great free plugins) and how to configure it in these two posts:

    If you need further assistance, post in this thread.

    Hey, thanks for sharing this guide.

    Did exactly like you said, but still homepage = blank.

    Guess I have to deactivate this plugin once again which is sad.

      Sounds like it's either a plugin conflict (w3 is not playing nice with another one of your plugins), or your overlooking some settings somewhere.

      Disable all plugins. Delete W3 and do a complete, 100% fresh install of the plugin and start trouble shooting from there, re-enabling plugins one by one and checking for the error.

      Edit: Minimal research is showing that this issue isn't new and, of the cases I've viewed, it almost always turns out to be a plugin/script conflict with W3.

        Thank you!

        I'll see what I can do. Meanwhile I also contacted with the support.

    W3TC is a good plugin. We use it for all our customers' sites. However, we do face to some issues recently, that requires de-activate and re-activate plugin. Another issue is CSS and JS minify that seems a repeated bug.

    Overall, it's still worth for using, especially with CDN option.

    I use it but have found those cache plugins seem to conflict with quite a few other plugins I use from time to time.
