Important: first try some tests without cache plugin if you are using only our required plugins probably you will not need any cache plugins, it is recommended to install Autoptimize if you are using multiple plugins, and they are not optimized and minified.
Note: W3 total cache is recommended for really large websites (lots of post/pages and plugins) but you may not get the best results.

Optional: On the “Extra” tab, you can remove Emojis if you don’t need them (that will reduce some JavaScript and CSS requests).
