# Cannot Remove query strings from static resources

 * I use W3 Total Cache along with free Cloudfare. I have tried everything, including
   the option in W3 Total Cache to remove query strings, I have tried plugins that
   are dedicated to removing query strings, I have tried adding custom php functions
   to functions.php and everytime I made a change, I emptied all caches but still
   GTMetrix and Pingdom keep telling me that my query strings aren’t removed.
    I
   posted this here because I do not think this is plugin specific. Any help would
   be appreciated. Thank You.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fcannot-remove-query-strings-from-static-resources%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)

 * Turns out that my hosting provider has a cache of their own. I cleared that and
   my changes started to make effect.
