Puede seguir utilizando Cloudflare con W3 Total Cache. Solo requiere un poco m\u00e1s de configuraci\u00f3n. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u00bfCu\u00e1les son las ventajas de W3 Total Cache?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Rendimiento: hemos logrado mejoras de rendimiento\nmejoras de rendimiento con una configuraci\u00f3n m\u00ednima. Aparte de WP Rocket, ning\u00fan\notro plugin de cach\u00e9 nos dio este tipo de mejora de rendimiento con tan poca\nconfiguraci\u00f3n. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Opciones de cach\u00e9 - Hay una pl\u00e9tora de\nopciones de cach\u00e9 desde cach\u00e9 de navegador, cach\u00e9 de p\u00e1gina, cach\u00e9 de objeto, cach\u00e9 de\ny cach\u00e9 de base de datos. La mayor\u00eda de los otros plugins de cach\u00e9 por lo general s\u00f3lo vienen\ncon una o dos de esas opciones. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Compatibilidad con CDN - Con una completa integraci\u00f3n\npuede utilizar casi todos los principales proveedores de CDN con W3 Total Cache\nsin ning\u00fan problema. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u00bfAlg\u00fan aspecto negativo sobre W3 Total Cache?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Por desgracia, hay unos cuantos:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Precios - Los precios simplemente no son amigables para cualquiera que posea 3 o m\u00e1s sitios. Usted ser\u00eda mucho mejor usar un plugin como <a href=\"https:\/\/git-staging.wpastra.com\/go\/wp-rocket\/\">Cohete WP<\/a>que puede utilizar en un n\u00famero ilimitado de sitios por el mismo precio que 3 sitios con W3 Total Cache. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Soporte - Antes de que BoldGrid adquiriera W3 Total\nCache, muchos pensaban que hab\u00eda sido abandonado por su desarrollador original. Aunque\nAunque esos problemas parecen estar resueltos ahora, sigue siendo el elefante en la habitaci\u00f3n. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Interfaz - Hay un mont\u00f3n de opciones que son\nbastante confusas, y nada se explica muy bien dentro de la interfaz\ntampoco. La falta de documentaci\u00f3n adecuada no ayuda precisamente al asunto. No\nexactamente lo que se llama para principiantes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Y aunque no es negativo en s\u00ed, ya que es un plugin de cach\u00e9, W3 Total Cache carece de las opciones m\u00e1s sofisticadas, como la desactivaci\u00f3n de secuencias de comandos y la optimizaci\u00f3n de la base de datos que plugins como<a href=\"https:\/\/git-staging.wpastra.com\/go\/wp-rocket\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> Cohete WP<\/a> permite. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ya hemos <a href=\"https:\/\/git-staging.wpastra.com\/es\/comparison\/wp-rocket-vs-w3-total-cache\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">comparado la cach\u00e9 total de W3 y WP Rocket<\/a> plugins.

Launched initially in 2009, it\u2019s been on a whirlwind ride. \\n\\n\\n\\nFrom being one of the most famous caching plugins for WordPress to having a slump in developer support resulting in a mostly negative view of the plugin. \\n\\n\\n\\nIn 2019, BoldGrid acquired the plugin, and since then, it\u2019s been on the path to recovery with a renewed focus and effort on what is an excellent caching plugin. \\n\\n\\n\\nW3 Total Cache has over 1 million active installs with over 3521 five star ratings. Although the plugin also has a rather considerable 447 one-star ratings, is there trouble afoot? \\n\\n\\n\\nW3 Total Cache in Action\\n\\n\\n\\nWhat good is a review of a caching plugin if\\nyou don\u2019t get to see it in action? \\n\\n\\n\\nThat\u2019s why we decided to test how well W3\\nTotal Cache performs in this review. A bit about the test website. It\u2019s set up\\nusing PHP 7.3 on a Linode server with WordPress 5.3. \\n\\n\\n\\nThe theme I\u2019m using for these tests is our very own Astra, a blazingly fast lightweight WordPress theme. And I\u2019m also using one of our website templates allowing you to build a full site in minutes.\\n\\n\\n\\nFirst, let\u2019s take a look at well our website performs without W3 Total Cache:\\n\\n\\n\\nWithout W3 Total Cache\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\nA fully loaded page time of 3.7 seconds, page\\nsize of 579KB and 56 page requests. What impact will W3 Total Cache have?\\n\\n\\n\\nWith W3 Total Cache\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\nA huge improvement! A 2.8 seconds load time,\\n423KB total page size, and 27-page requests. A dramatic performance boost\\ncompared to before. \\n\\n\\n\\nHow To Speed up Your Website Using W3 Total Cache\\n\\n\\n\\nNow you\u2019ve seen our results, you might be\\nwondering, \u201cwell, how do I set up W3 Total Cache to achieve similar results?\u201d\\nLuckily for you, we\u2019re going to show you how. \\n\\n\\n\\nStep 1: How to Install and Activate W3 Total Cache\\n\\n\\n\\nHead on over to your wp-admin &gt; Plugins &gt; Add New and search for \u201cW3 Total Cache\u201d. \\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\nInstall the plugin and activate, it\u2019s that\\nsimple! :)\\n\\n\\n\\nStep 2: Configuring Settings\\n\\n\\n\\nIn your wp-admin, you\u2019ll now have a new menu item on the left-hand side called \u201cPerformance.\u201d Hover over that and then click \u201cgeneral settings\u201d:\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\nAs while you can go through each sub menu item, general settings also contain all the same settings you see in the submenu flyout. \\n\\n\\n\\nOnce you\u2019re on the general settings screen, it\\ncan be a bit overwhelming, the interface isn\u2019t exactly beginner-friendly, and\\nthere\u2019s an overload of information. Some of which won\u2019t even work unless you\\ndon\u2019t have particular prerequisites set on your server!\\n\\n\\n\\nLet\u2019s take a look at how we set up the plugin\\nto achieve our results:\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\nScroll down to the page cache option and set it to be enabled by checking the checkbox. Leave the page cache method as \u201cDisk Enhanced\u201d. \\n\\n\\n\\nStep 2a: Configuring Minification\\n\\n\\n\\nStill in the general settings scroll down to\\nthe minification options:\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\nLike most of what we'll\\nbe doing for our simple configuration, not a lot needs changing. Enable the\\nminify option and leave all the rest of the options to their defaults. \\n\\n\\n\\nYou may be thinking, \\\"but why aren't we changing more settings?\\\" Because out of the box, the majority of sites will work fine with the default settings once a module is enabled. \\n\\n\\n\\nThe secret comes with\\nnot enabling the \\\"wrong\\\" modules that aren't compatible with your\\nsite (we'll explore that later in this very article). \\n\\n\\n\\nStep 3: Finishing Configuring W3\\nTotal Cache\\n\\n\\n\\nWe've almost finished\\nconfiguring the plugin!\\n\\n\\n\\nNow scroll down and\\nenable the following module (leave all the module settings at what they're\\nalready on, only enable the module itself). \\n\\n\\n\\n\\nDatabase Cache. \\n\\n\\n\\nBrowser Cache. \\n\\n\\n\\nLazy Loading.\\n\\n\\n\\n\\nAnd you're done! Yet why\\ndidn't we enable all the options? Some of the main options we didn't enable. \\n\\n\\n\\n\\nContent Delivery Network (CDN) \u2014 While vital to a site's performance, in our speed tests, we're testing how a caching plugin performs without any additional \\\"help.\\\" If you're interested in learning more about CDN's take a look at the 10 best CDN providers.\\n\\n\\n\\nObject Cache \u2014 To make use of the object cache, you need to integrate with the object cache API. Most websites don't integrate with this, and thus it makes more sense to keep it deactivated. However, if your site is integrated with the Object Cache API, then do enable it, as it'll significantly improve your performance. \\n\\n\\n\\n\\nYou've now successfully set up W3 Total Cache!\\n\\n\\n\\nW3 Total Cache Pricing \\n\\n\\n\\nThere's the free version of W3 Total Cache available directly from WordPress.org, and there's the Pro version. \\n\\n\\n\\nHowever, unlike most other plugins, the Pro version is only available in-app within the free plugin interface, and there's no multi-site license discount. Meaning if you need it for 50 sites, you'll still pay $99\/site.\\n\\n\\n\\nOverall the pricing structure makes it much more expensive than plugins like WP Rocket (WP Rocket review) if you need the Pro version across a few sites.\\n\\n\\n\\nW3 Total Cache Features\\n\\n\\n\\nThere's a lot in W3\\nTotal Caches, here's everything that W3 Total Cache has (note: some features\\nmentioned may require the Pro version of the plugin). \\n\\n\\n\\n\\nPage Caching\\n\\n\\n\\nBrowser Caching\\n\\n\\n\\nDatabase Caching \\n\\n\\n\\nObject Caching support\\n\\n\\n\\nMinification\\n\\n\\n\\nAutomatic CDN support. \\n\\n\\n\\nLazy Loading of Images\/Media. \\n\\n\\n\\n\\nAnd more!\\n\\n\\n\\nHere's a quick look at\\nsome of our favorite features of W3 Total Cache.\\n\\n\\n\\nLazy Loading\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\nAn unusual addition to a caching plugin,\\nalbeit a welcome one! Lazy loading prevents loading off-screen images until\\nneeded, speeding up the overall load time of your website. \\n\\n\\n\\nUsually, you\u2019d have to install an additional\\nplugin specifically built for lazy-loading. But with this option in W3 Total\\nCache, it makes Lazy Loading a cinch!\\n\\n\\n\\nCDN \\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\nW3 Total Cache has some of the most comprehensive CDN options available out of any caching plugin. Including direct integrations with StackPath, Amazon Cloudfront, MaxCDN, and more. \\n\\n\\n\\nAlthough one noticeable absence from its selectable CDN options is Cloudflare. You can still use Cloudflare with W3 Total Cache. It just requires a bit more configuration. \\n\\n\\n\\nWhat Are the Advantages of W3 Total Cache?\\n\\n\\n\\nPerformance \u2014 We achieved rather impressive\\nperformance improvements with minimal configuration. Apart from WP Rocket, no\\nother caching plugin gave us this type of performance boost with such little\\nconfiguration. \\n\\n\\n\\nCaching Options \u2014 There\u2019s a plethora of\\ncaching options from browser caching, page caching, object caching, fragment\\ncaching, and database caching. Most other caching plugins usually only come\\nwith one or two of those options. \\n\\n\\n\\nCDN Support \u2014 With a comprehensive CDN\\nintegration, you can use almost all major CDN providers with W3 Total Cache\\nwithout any hassle. \\n\\n\\n\\nAny Negatives About W3 Total Cache?\\n\\n\\n\\nUnfortunately, there are a few:\\n\\n\\n\\nPricing \u2014 The pricing just isn\u2019t friendly to anyone that owns 3 or more sites. You\u2019d be much better off using a plugin like WP Rocket, which you could use on unlimited sites for the same price as 3 sites with W3 Total Cache. \\n\\n\\n\\nSupport \u2014 Before BoldGrid acquired W3 Total\\nCache, many thought it had been abandoned by its original developer. Although\\nthose issues seem to be resolved now, it\u2019s still the elephant in the room. \\n\\n\\n\\nInterface \u2014 There\u2019s a lot of options that are\\nquite confusing, and nothing is explained very well within the interface\\neither. The lack of proper documentation doesn\u2019t exactly help the matter. Not\\nexactly what you\u2019d call beginner-friendly. \\n\\n\\n\\nAnd while not a negative per se as it is a caching plugin, W3 Total Cache does lack the more sophisticated options such as disabling scripts and optimizing the database that plugins like WP Rocket allows. \\n\\n\\n\\nWe have already compared the W3 total cache and WP Rocket plugins. You might want to check that out.\\n\\n\\n\\nW3 Total Cache Rating \\n\\n\\n\\nWe\u2019d give W3 Total Cache the following:\\n\\n\\n\\nFeature set 3.5 \/ 5\\n\\n\\n\\nUser interface: 2 \/ 5\\n\\n\\n\\nEase of use: 2.5 \/ 5\\n\\n\\n\\nSupport: 3 \/ 5\\n\\n\\n\\nPricing: 3 \/5 \\n\\n\\n\\nOverall: 3 \/ 5\\n\\n\\n\\nWrapping Up\\n\\n\\n\\nDespite the drawbacks, W3 Total Cache still provides impressive results in our tests, and if you\u2019re more developer-oriented is definitely worth a shot! We\u2019d personally recommend sticking with the free version, given the rather expensive paid\/Pro options.\\n\\n\\n\\nHave you used W3 Total Cache before? Have you ever run into any problems with the plugin before? What\u2019s your favorite caching plugin?
