# Errors with Cloudways / Object Cache Pro

 * I’m running on Cloudways, which offers Redis and by default installs the Object
   Cache Pro drop-in on WordPress installations.
 * I have encountered an error where page loads freeze when partially loaded or 
   else freeze on a blank white screen. In the browser console, I am seeing an error“
   ERR_INCOMPLETE_CHUNKED_ENCODING”.
 * This error ONLY occurs when Object Cache Pro and W3 Total Cache are enabled simultaneously.
 * It seemed obvious that the issue was simply that both were utilizing an object-
   cache.php file. However, I have always DISABLED the object caching feature within
   W3 Total Cache for this very reason.
 * So, even with W3TC object caching disabled, I have a conflict with the Object
   Cache Pro drop-in.
 * At this time, the only way to avoid the error is to disable the Object Cache 
   Pro drop-in and use W3TC object caching (which produces an error in WordPress
   regarding a “foreign object cache drop-in”), or else I have to disable W3TC completely
   and enabled Object Cache Pro. Enabling Object Cache Pro and W3TC simultaneously
   creates the blank page loads even when W3TC object caching is “unchecked” in 
   general settings.
 * Do you have any advice on how to best proceed? Ideally, I hoped to use the Cloudways
   Object Cache Pro drop-in (since that is installed by them) and use W3TC for everything
   else (object caching disabled) but I cannot figure out how to do that without
   creating errors.

 * Hello [@schwindt14](https://wordpress.org/support/users/schwindt14/)
 * Thank you for a very interesting question.
 * W3TC should not care about the object-cache.php if the Object Caching is disabled
   in the W3 Total Cache General settings. This being said, W3TC works well with
   for example Redis Object Cache plugin, that is also using the same drop-in named
   file.
 * What I would suggest is to disable W3TC Object Cache, save all settings and purge
   the cache. Before that disable the Object Cache Pro plugin.
 * Once both are disabled, manually delete (make a backup) wp-config drop-in object-
   cache.php
 * Now, once you activate the Object Cache Pro plugin it should drop-in it’s own
   file, and since the OC is disabled in W3TC, it should not check for the object-
   cache.php
 * The error “ERR_INCOMPLETE_CHUNKED_ENCODING”. indicates that there may be a problem
   with compression. I am not sure and familiar with the other plugin and the settings
   that you may have there, however, I would recommend disabling the gzip compression
   in W3 Total Cache Browser Cache settings and see if this helps, as you may have
   double compression active on some other level.
 * I hope this helps!
 * Thanks!

 * Thank you so much, Marko. I’ve been trying to isolate this issue for quite some
   time (with other support resources) and this is the most precise and helpful 
   feedback I’ve received. I’m going to go and try these options and I’ll report
   back soon if I have additional questions or else I’ll mark it closed if successful.
   I appreciate your help!

 * This appears to have worked. Thank you so much. I suspect that disabling gzip
   compression in W3TC was also key, since from what I’m seeing, Object Cache Pro
   deals with compression in some areas. ([https://objectcache.pro/](https://objectcache.pro/))
 * **I do have one related question which hopefully is an easy answer for you:**
 * Given my situation (using Object Cache Pro for object cache and W3TC for various
   other things), is there any reason I would also want to disable the “Database
   Cache” feature in W3TC, for fear of additional “overlap”?
 * If there is no risk of overlap, then do you recommend that I select Redis or 
   Memcached for Database Cache functionality (my server provides both options)?
 * I am only looking for recommendations to avoid future issues on these last points,
   and you have solved my original issue, so I will mark solved.

 * Hello [@schwindt14](https://wordpress.org/support/users/schwindt14/)
 * Thank you for your feedback and I am glad the problem is resolved.
 * DB caching and OB caching are similar, and this depends on the website and the
   number of queries. It’s generally recommended to use only OC or only DB caching,
   however, you can test and see if you are experiencing any issues.
