If a host does not offer back-end caching, I add two plugins for caching, autoptimize and comet cache. If you’re already using WP Super Cache, continue with that, but try adding autoptimize to the mix. * Thread Starter [qnkov](https://wordpress.org/support/users/qnkov/) * (@qnkov) * [7 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/should-i-use-cache-plugin/#post-11097489) * I have installed W3 Total Cache, cuz it’s part of my server tutorial. But the pages are loading more slow than before? * Moderator [Steven Stern (sterndata)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sterndata/) * (@sterndata) * Volunteer Forum Moderator * [7 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/should-i-use-cache-plugin/#post-11097495) * Make sure you have *only one* caching plugin. * If W3TC is not speeding up your site, I recommend asking at [https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/w3-total-cache#new-post](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/w3-total-cache#new-post) so the plugin’s developers and support community can help you with this. * Thread Starter [qnkov](https://wordpress.org/support/users/qnkov/) * (@qnkov) * [7 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/should-i-use-cache-plugin/#post-11097513) * I’m not sure how they will help, i have follow tutorial from my server how to set the plugin, and the pages was loading like 3-4 secs. 🙂 Yea, i don’t have any other cache plugin. Which you offer me? i cannot use Super Cache plugin, cuz it wants me to change my permalink structure and i cannot do that. * I’ve installed Autoptimize, should i use this plugin alone? Could it help to load the site better? How should i set it? - This reply was modified 7 years, 4 months ago by [qnkov](https://wordpress.org/support/users/qnkov/). - This reply was modified 7 years, 4 months ago by [qnkov](https://wordpress.org/support/users/qnkov/). * Moderator [Steven Stern (sterndata)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sterndata/) * (@sterndata) * Volunteer Forum Moderator * [7 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/should-i-use-cache-plugin/#post-11097578) * Please read the autoptimize settings page. You need to understand how it works. * I don’t know (nor do I really care) about the tutorial you followed. Check with the W3TC folks if you need help with the plugin. * Meantime, post a link to your site. * Thread Starter [qnkov](https://wordpress.org/support/users/qnkov/) * (@qnkov) * [7 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/should-i-use-cache-plugin/#post-11097663) * [http://otaku.bg/](http://otaku.bg/) * I actived autoptimize plugin.

This indicates, to me, that your server is either overly busy or under powered. * Your page is also 10.6MB. That’s quite large. You might want to optimize some images. * Thread Starter [qnkov](https://wordpress.org/support/users/qnkov/) * (@qnkov) * [7 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/should-i-use-cache-plugin/#post-11097829) * Most likely “The Grid” Plugin is heavy, that shows first pages. All my images are normally under 200kb. That’s wbhy i’m searching for some plugin which can help a bit. How did u check those stats by the way?
