 * Hi everyone,
    I’ve been trying everything with this plugin. It’s incredible how
   increments the server response time. Google speed page trow 85 on desktop, but
   the server is taking so long to start to load the page.
 * How is this posible? Any solution?
 * Thanks in advance.

 * Hi numana,
 * Which caching modules are you using (e.g. Page, Database, Object)?
    If you are
   using Page Caching, which page caching method are you using? Are you on shared
   hosting?
 * A link to your site and screenshots of your settings would help, too.
 * Best,
    AJ

 * Hi AJ, right now I have unistall the plugin.
 * I had page, database, browser and minify modules activated. I deactivated object
   module in order to test if that was the problem, but it was no difference. My
   site it’s in a shared hosting and that’s because i was using disk caching method(
   enhaced disk for page).
 * I had tried everything, could be the minify proccess that cause that delay? Actually
   i’m testing on a page of 3Mb (this will be lighter after some modifications).
 * But why can be the delay in server response?
    Thanks

 * Just to make sure I’m clear: the site’s server response time was/is better with
   W3TC disabled/uninstalled? If so, how are you measuring this?
 * …If you choose to reinstall, disable **both** Object **and** Database caching
   as the response time of the disk is probably not fast enough for either, thereby
   causing the problems.
 * If that doesn’t fix it, leave Object and Database caching off and instead of ‘
   Disk: Enhanced’, try ‘Disk: Basic’ for Page Caching.
 * If _that_ doesn’t fix it, I would need to at least see screenshots of your settings
   to help further.
 * Best,
    AJ

 * Thanks for your answer. But after search more on internet I found this blog post
   [http://makeaweblog.com/w3-total-cache-settings/](http://makeaweblog.com/w3-total-cache-settings/).
 * It shows how to configure W3 TOTAL CACHE for shared servers. I think most of 
   the users uses this type of hosting for their blogs. You may include in the plugin
   an auto configuration for shared hosting. That will help a lot.
 * Thanks!
