Any tutorial available on using this with w3tc and shared GoDaddy hosting?

[Skonka Bourgy]

Would like to know if there are any issues with using this plugin with shared hosting and even if it's necessary for a site with 3000 posts and 50000 views a day.

Cheers.

If you can run commands/get shell access, then most likely you can copy OCP to the server and run it, since it doesn't require anything special to be installed. I know it's possible with Site5, but I'm unsure about GoDaddy.

If you can't run a custom application, then you can still run it, but from another/your local machine. I guess a similar application/tool written in PHP would be your best bet there. W3TC has a built-in primer, but in my experience it's not very good. In fact, it's the reason OCP exists. Maybe http://www.pixelenvision.com/1572/php-cache-warmer-preloader-for-w3-total-cache/ ?

Whether or not it's worth it really depends on how fast your pages load now. Even if your page isn't getting a lot of traffic, keeping pages cached gives you a significant boost in Google's search result rankings. My guess would be that priming your pages in some way would be totally worth it, both for user experience and SEO.

It looks like it's possible:

http://support.godaddy.com/help/article/4942/enabling-ssh-on-your-linux-shared-hosting-account 

When SSH is enabled, you can SSH into your server, download the OCP file using wget, and then add it your crontab.

If you have a mac, you'd do something like:

ssh yourusername@yoursite

Password: yourpassword

wget http://files.patrickmylund.com/tools/ocp2/linux/ocp-2.6-i386.tar.gz

tar xfvz ocp-2.6-i386.tar.gz

cd ocp

./ocp

If it says x86_64 or amd64 in "uname -a", then you should get the 64-bit version, http://files.patrickmylund.com/tools/ocp2/linux/ocp-2.6-amd64.tar.gz

Hope this helps

Forgot to include Windows. PuTTY is great there:  http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html
