Optimizing WordPress With W3 Total Cache and Gtmetrix<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

With a site that receives too much traffic, there maybe too much server load whenever every visitor feeds in a request. Since there must be a connection to the database to confirm the existence of the content requested by a visitor, with an increase in traffic it only means that your CPU usage of resources is high. All these problems occur in WordPress because it doesn’t have an inbuilt functionality to perform caching and so installing an external Plugin definitely increases the speed of your site. With a W3 Total Cache, there is assurance that once a visitor requests a page, connection to the database to check the content existence is triggered, and a copy of the same information is saved in an HTML file. Therefore if another person requests the same page or content, there is no duplication because the previously cached HTML file is served so long as the first person made no changes to the so requested content. Gtmetrix is just a quantifier to W3 Total Cache in speed improvement that is if the user needs more speed and W3 Total Cache is not up to the task. However, for greater results ensure your server is of great performance.<\/p>\n
