Hello,
Have i gone too crazy with the amount of tools i use to speed my WordPress website with the Newspaper theme? Or will any of these options conflict with each other?
I have:
– Gzip compression (on my server)
– Optimized images
– Separate CDN for images (different company).
– W3Cache: Enabled Page Cache
– Basic method
– (may have more settings enabled that i’m not aware of. Not sure, configured it ages ago)
– CloudFlare
– Custom profile
– Caching level: Simplified
– Minimum expire TTL: 3 hours
– Auto Minify (Web optimization): JS, CSS and HTML
– Rocket Loader: Enabled
– Then all my security options are enabled.

Also i have another question: Do i need to purge the cache in W3Cache when i post a new post? So visitors can see it? Because if i don’t, it doesn’t appear on my visitors side for a few hours. Which means they’ve missed the headline news if they’re scanning my site and don’t have a direct link to post?
Let me know if that doesn’t make sense, and i’ll try and reword it.
Thank you!
Hi,
I can’t tell how or if those tools/options/plugins work well together. Many of them contain lots of settings so it’s hard to predict an outcome from using them.
If the new post dose appear after few hours then my guess is you’d have to go trough CDN settings and search for settings which will re-cache if the content is changed or a similar option.
Thanks
No worries, Lucian thanks for the response.
Do you know if i can find the CDN settings to re-cache in Cloudflare or W3Cache? Never heard of that option before.
Thanks 🙂
Hi,
I suggest you search in both and also follow their documentations. I didn’t said that an option/setting like that exists, I meant you can look for an setting like that.
Thanks
No worries, i’ve found it.
If anyone is checking this thread out and is curious about the option. You can find it in W3Cache under ‘Page Cache’. Tick the box called ‘Preload the post cache upon publish events.’ and select the categories you want to purge.
Thanks! 🙂
Glad you found it!
Thanks for your feedback!
