Everyone dreams to manage lots of visitors to the site but what if they fail to accomplish their dreams? Will they be able to handle the traffic? The question is not that they can or cannot but the question is How the site will maintain the speed if so many visitors will access the site at the same instance of time? For such problems, you need to optimize your CSS, HTML, Javascript, or any type of coding followed. Other than this optimization there should be a quick browser cache speed for your site is needed.
For this, there are optimization tools and Analytic tools. However, these tools will not be enough for a site to load faster. For more speed, you can go for a plugin that we have tried i.e W3 Total Cache Plugin.
This plugin will work very with WordPress and other plugins that are installed on your WordPress site. Make sure to install it and then activate it for trying it yourself.

How To Reach the settings of the W3 Total Cache Plugin?
This plugin allows you to perform the settings from the WordPress dashboard. These settings are easily handled in this area. Along with this there is a Dashboard with every possible setting displaying there.
The Permonce tab is also visible on the WordPress Top-Nav menu bar. This makes it easy to handle from anywhere on site.
In this Top-nav menu, the admin will get options to Purge all cache, Content page purge, module purge, Direct setting access, Extension management, and support.
There is a general setting option that will let you enable the preview mode.
This setting will enable the user to cache page data using any specific method.

The cache is also done in the opcode.
Many options to perform the database cache using various methods.
Object cache using any specific method.
This method will help your site to load faster in any browser where it has been once loaded because the data on your site is cached by the browser.
Content modification and caching are also managed here.
Some times there are problems related to the proxy, so for that, we have a proxy reverse system via Varnish servers.
Some of the site features are also reduced to speed the site when needed.
This fragment cache will reduce the time of execution of site settings.
Settings made into action can also save externally through the integrated feature of Import and export.
Other extended options for these general settings are provided so that you can modify your filter and make your site crisper towards your task. These extended options will work only if the main setting on the general option is enabled.
Make sure to use the right server for your WordPress site because many times it happens that you make these settings live but the server chosen was not the actual server you are working on.
