t's a simple permission problem.
Which permissions would you suppose to change then? For testing purposes Ive already 777 wp-config.php without success
restart the webserver after the change
Do not > @Ympker said:
Really? It means you are allowing everyone to read/write on most important file of WordPress. All you have to do is:
Change user:group and location according and make sure to change permission of wp-config.php back otherwise it would be a huge security issue.
@Ympker look at wp-rocket. W3TC is overkill imho.
In fact I was going to (to force a refresh of the file) however I am in a shared hosting environment without any means to do so.
Woah hold your horses mate. I am very well aware of what 777 is permission whise which is exactly why I have only changed the file to 777 for a matter of seconds to test that.
I know about wp rocket but I was not looking for a paid plugin :P Furthermore I have been very happy with W3TC throughout the years.
I tkink its a permissions error
But try this mate https://srd.wordpress.org/plugins/wp-super-cache/
Yeah that would have been my second option but Id prefer W3TC :P
Thanks buddy
However rn I am wondering if I actually need a caching plugin at all. The webserver is situated in Germany and my site loads in 782ms from Sweden with a Google Pagespeed rank of A (98). Assuming it loads even faster from Germany I guess enabling the plugin alone would cause more pageload than what it's worth.
Caching is important for heavy websites, wordpress with +15 plugins, but for fast websites may result the same
Exactly and I have about 2-3 active plugins + 5 medium sized images. The whole site equals a couple of mb :P
really ? are you sure ? you have just said a "blasphemy" try to do some tests only with and without opcache. After that tell me the difference ...
My website size equals a mere 500kb and loads at 800ms. At this rate any caching plugin Ive enabled has increased load time to 2 seconds which is why I disabled it again.
if it's a small site and even on shared hosting go without. you never know what things maybe already implemented on the host, like reverse caching proxy, php opcache or even mod_pagespeed ... sometime too much things will mess with another and just make things worse.
opcache just work as soon as you enable it > you dont need wordpress plugins

Im on shared hosting though
Sry i didnt understand that My apologies
I wasnt precise either :P
@Ympker https://github.com/wp-media/wp-rocket code is on github and if you pm me, can give you a free version. I can give a setup anyways that performs better as well, consider some of the plugins I wrote.
Haha thanks mate but in fact I think Im just fine with how the website pageload is rn
800ms cant complain^^
@Ympker whats the URL. Server response is only one part of speed, there are many others.
nicolas-loew.de still WIP though
@Ympker https://gtmetrix.com/reports/nicolas-loew.de/TO4v6W68 still has a lot that can be improved.
Yeah as I said it's WIP Just was gonna say Im not really looking to install a caching plugin?
not really. most of that YSlow score malus relates to the version tags of css/js which causes expire header/Etags not set correctly...
you can remove those easily by adding some lines to functions.php - https://www.codementor.io/tips/8369241717/remove-version-number-from-css-js-in-wordpress-theme
no need to do much more, and even this is more of a cosmetic change, as it only may help to cache the css/js properly on the client - shouldn't have a big impact on that small site anyways.
Speed matters and I can tell the site needs work speed wise. It's a speciality of mine, and I can tell it's not at a standard I would deem acceptable, no matter the size of the site. Just giving out my advisement.
I call bullshit. :-P
Typically, most WordPress documents have permission for reading only 444. Here, you need to change the document permission to 644. Now just refresh a page, there is no awful notice. Everything goes easily.
To change the permission, you can use cPanel or FileZilla or another FTP customer.
What's the problem? I speed up wordpress sites on a near weekly basis now and have results to show for that. @Falzo's site speed AND rating is bad, and @Falzo's call if they want to accept that for their users.
then go ahead and show us.
curious what site you are talking about...
@Falzo, most recent client https://gtmetrix.com/reports/newtourleans.com/j21Ae0b7. Second most recent https://gtmetrix.com/reports/positek.net/QcVH3wSX.

So unlike many on let who talk but can't back it, there is your proof . Every client courtesy of https://codeable.io/developers/derrick-hammer/?ref=rvtGZ
Also sorry but got @Ympker and @Falzo mixed up, too tired.
Peace.
