 * Hello!
    I was just wondering… how do i remove the query string from static content?
   Like minifying does this: “domain/wp-content/w3tc/min/index.php?file=ce797114.
   de174c.css”… it use “get”. If i use rewrite url, it don’t work (using eAccelerator).
 * Now… when i change to disk, if i use rewrite url it looks like this “domain/wp-
   content/w3tc/min/index.php?file=ce797114.de174c.css?random numbers”.
 * How can i get it to not use “?” in any way?
    Using dev version btw, with LiteSpeed
   server.

 * THanks for asking [@hitoriix](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hitoriix/) 
   I am wondering the same thing. Pingdom recommends caching with out query strings
   but this appears to be the approach used for disk caching by w3c total cache

 * If you use Minify Auto it uses query strings as well. If you use manual it makes
   a single static file without query strings.

 * Uncheck the “Prevent caching of objects after settings change” option on the 
   browser cache settings tab.
