W3 Total Cache Optimal Settings

W3 Total Cache Optimal Settings

I recently have make my site to run under SSL (https)  after Google’s  announce on «HTTPS as a ranking signal«, but then I discovered the sad part; the speed and performance on my site became slower. After researching and reading reviews around on the web, one of the free, cheap and best solution I found was a pluging call “W3 Total Cache” for wordpress. Again the challenge was how to configure it with my website and hosting service. After looking around on the net and search for the best recommended configuration, I been trying different setups but time after time the speed and performance went even worst. I tested different setups and at the end I found the one that really works for me.

I have a basic web hosting with WordPress CMS on it, no CDN or «extra forces» to make my site run faster. If you are in the same situation and wonder how can you make your blog / site speed up, this can save you some time.

And thats it! this is the best configuration I have found for my wordpress site, but have in mind that every website has its own server configuration, plugins or theme. I hope this can be helpful to you and will save you some time if you have a website that is similar.

P.D: Remember at the end to clear all caches in W3 Total Cache Dashboard after the changes has been made.

TDR VOS SlickEQ Free Plugin

TDR VOS SlickEQ Free Plugin  win/mac

Tokyo Dawn Records has just release a new free EQ plugin that just looks awesome! not just for the posibilities of use or quality but also for the great looking interface. Among all the free plugins available on the internet Tokyo Dawn offers probably if not the best some of the best available free plugins available today.

About TDR VOS SlickEQ

TDR VOS SlickEQ is a mixing/mastering equalizer designed for ease of use, musical flexibility and impeccable sound.

Three (and a half) filter-bands arranged in a classic Low/Mid/High semi-parametric layout offer fast and intuitive access to four distinct EQ modes, each representing a set of distinct EQ curves and behaviors. An elaborate auto gain option automatically compensates for changes of perceived loudness during EQ operation. Optionally, SlickEQ allows to exclusively process either the stereo sum or stereo difference (i.e. “stereo width”) without additional sum/difference encoding.

In order to warm up the material with additional harmonic content, SlickEQ offers a switchable EQ non-linearity and an output stage with 3 different saturation models. These options are meant to offer subtle and interesting textures, rather than obvious distortion. The effect is made to add the typical “mojo” often associated with classy audio gear.

An advanced 64bit multirate processing structure practically eliminates typical problems of digital EQ implementations such as frequency warping, quantization distortion and aliasing.

Beside the primary controls, the plug-in comes with an array of additional helpers: Advanced preset management, undo/redo, quick A/B comparison, copy & paste, an online help, editable labels, mouse-wheel support and much more.
