As a beginner, I found it quite challenging to configure it correctly. At first, my misconfiguration caused layout issues, which made the experience frustrating for me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is W3 Total Cache solving and how is that benefiting you?

Apart from improving page load times, it also enhances both browser and server-side caching. It sets smart browser caching rules so repeat visitors can load the site quickly. On the server side, caching (such as page cache and object cache) reduces the PHP processing load, which in turn makes the end-user experience much better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
