 * It seems the cache is not purged properly. Could you send a bug form submission
   form from Support page inside the Total Cache plugin if you haven’t done so already.

 * You could possibly using fragment caching for this in the next release of the
   plugin. Garbage collection / purging isn’t working properly on your site, which
   sometimes occurs when the server is underpowered.

 * This may be a stupid question, but what is the URL of your home page?

 * I too am having a problem with my comments (see post [here](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-w3-total-cache-new-comments-not-clearing-cache?replies=1))–
   it’s caching the comments and not updating when new comments are posted. I turned
   caching off for a while, but traffic to the site is way up and I need to re-enable
   it. It was working perfectly before I upgraded to the most recent version of 
   WP and Total Cache.
