When using WordPress and W3 Total Cache it can sometimes be a mystery to solve performance issues. Enabling debugging tools will provide HTML comments about your caching configuration, and whether it was a hit or miss to help you track down those issues that can otherwise be overlooked.<\/p>\n

Warning: Debugging can have an adverse impact on your site performance. Use it sparingly, and disable it when not using to ensure you have the fastest WordPress site.<\/p>\n
