W3 Total Cache

W3 Total Cache improves the user experience of your site by increasing website performance, reducing download times via features like content delivery network (CDN) integration and more.

Benefits of using w3 Total Cache include:

  • Improvements in search engine result page rankings, especially for mobile-friendly websites and sites that use SSL
  • At least 10x improvement in overall site performance (Grade A in WebPagetest or significant Google Page Speed improvements) when fully configured
  • Improved conversion rates and "site performance" which affect your site's rank on Google.com
  • "Instant" repeat page views: browser caching
  • Optimized progressive render: pages start rendering quickly and can be interacted with more quickly
  • Reduced page load time: increased visitor time on site; visitors view more pages
  • Improved web server performance; sustain high traffic periods
  • Up to 80% bandwidth savings via minify and HTTP compression of HTML, CSS, JavaScript and feeds

Note: The plugin offers a great deal of different settings and we suggest you try them out to find what works best on your server. Below are some settings that we use:

SVG Support

A little plugin that enables SVG file uploads using the WordPress Media Library uploader plus the ability to inline SVG files for direct targeting of SVG elements for CSS and JS.
