Hi,

The two most popular cacheing plugins for WordPress are probably:

http://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-super-cache/

and the w3total cache one you mention.

Although they both have the same aim, the way they go about it is quite different.  Depending on your technical knowledge you may find Super Cache easier to set up and manage than w3total.

For what it's worth I doubt you'll find a plugin that is better than these two, but you may benefit from experimenting with both to see which suits your host better.

I'd suggest that if either plugin working on a standalone basis is not making a difference, then you may have issues with your host that need addressing.

I prefer Total Cache with a CDN.  How you setup Total Cache can also make a HUGE difference and it seems to depend somewhat on the server/host you're with. I usually setup the top two options then ONE of the next two (database or object caching).  After that, hook into a CDN like CloudFlare and you should be screaming.

Check after each update you make in Pingdom Tools or Google Developer's Speed.
