    W3 Total Cache vs WP Super Cache - Wordpress Plugin

    I have used WP Super Cache forever on my blogs. Im thinking of switching to W3 Total Cache because it is suppose to be faster 50 to 100% faster.


    Has anybody ever used W3 Total Cache?


    thanks

          Never used it here... but I will give it a try. Tnx for sharing it.

          You can't go wrong with smaller pages and such, for sure on anything with high traffic or lots of installs... hell if your big enough you may be able to see a 30% reduction in page size on the bw charts.

                          Finally, got it working and so far it is blazing fast.


                          I am currently using the "disk" as the caching method.

                                      I tried Super cache on my busiest MU blog, It worked fine, then suddenly, it was showing blank pages, and I had to un-install it. I may have to give totalcache a go.

                                          W3 Total Cache has "minify" settings that shrink CSS and JS files.

                                          I just cut down my CSS and JS files in half.

                                          Everything is working and loading incredibly fast.

                                                  APC is being compiled on to my server. That should speed it up some more.
                                                  APC Alternative PHP Cache

                                                  Using PECL to install
                                                  http://pecl.php.net/package/APC

                                                  People with huge WordPress site shoud consider using this plugin along with APC and memcached.

                                                  This guy just switched to using W3 Total Cache.

                                                  Are any adult site using this plugin yet?

                                                          you can resolve this by deleting the cache

                                                                  Scalability is what is lacking in WP Super Cache.
