 * After several weeks of trying to figure out why I (and my web host support) kept
   getting blocked from getting in via my wp-admin page (page 404s i believe?). 
   I tried activating and deactivating various plugins (I have about 30). I opened
   several support tickets with my host’s customer support. Finally Tier 2 support(
   higher level) identified this as the culprit and things now work fine. Apparently
   AO does not work with their technology. They suggested other caching plugins.
   I am sure AO is useful otherwise.
 * Definitely back up before activating a plugin and make sure you have a good web
   host support. Again, if wp-admin access is your problem, it might be this plugin
   based on your host’s technical setup.

 * Sorry, but I deleted their email. I think Apache and another technology was involved.
   The host is InMotionHosting. I cannot provide any further insight, as they discovered
   it and advised my to use another caching plugin (W3). Perhaps you can contact
   them and learn.
