# Caching WP-Admin

 * Hello,
 * I’m not sure if I am missing a setting somewhere (there are so many!) but I’m
   wondering if this plugin is able to cache the wp-admin? If so, I’d like to turn
   it off. Things like my plugins page won’t update (refresh) when loading it because
   it is loading cached. The dashboard also loads cached.
 * I can tell in two ways:
    1) The pages load in about .5 seconds. This is not a
   normal speed. Something like 3-4 seconds is more normal. 2) If I open dev-tools
   and right-click the reload icon and choose “empty cache & hard refresh” the page
   takes the normal 3-4 seconds to load (but the plugin page still has a problem
   showing plugins that were just updated).
 * Hopefully I’m just missing the setting to turn it off? Using latest version (
   v2.2.4)
 * Thank you in advanced!

 * Thank you for reaching out and I am happy to assist you with this.
    Yes W3TC 
   does have the ability to cache for logged-in users and cache wp-admin requests,
   and this depends on the Features enabled in the General settings. If you have
   for example Page Caching, Object Caching, Db Cacching, and Minify enabled, you
   can go to the individual settings of these features and make sure that the following
   options are addressed: Page Cache – “Don’t cache pages for logged-in users” –
   enable Object Cache – Enable caching for wp-admin requests – disable Database
   Cache – Don’t cache queries for logged-in users – enable Minify – Disable minify
   for logged-in users – enable
 * If you are using Object Caching and Database Caching, and caching to disk, you
   should consider using a memory-based caching solution like Redis or Memcached
   as it’s not recommended to cache DB queries to disk.
 * Thanks!

 * Hi [@vmarko](https://wordpress.org/support/users/vmarko/)
 * Thank you for the quick reply!
 * That helped out a lot, I had the database cache enabled for logged-in users and
   the object cache was also enabled for the wp-admin. That was what I was looking
   for! Thank you for that information 🙂 (and the tid-bit about the db queries 
   not to disk) much appreciate it!
