w3 total cache - settings for dummies

I know there is currently a thread about speeding up CP but I didn't want to hijack it with my more simplistic request.

I have just installed wp total cache as my site is getting really slow (I tried to disable image preview on featured carousel but I can't seem to do it). The settings page for someone who is not a programmer is very confusing.

Can someone tell me - re Classipress requirements - what settings I should choose for this plugin, that won't cause problems with a Classipress site?

At the moment there is a red message at the top of the page about Enhanced mode page cache and that I need to add some code. Should I do this? Also for browser cache? Do I need that?

At the moment page cache, browser cache and minify are enabled but database and object cache aren't. Nor is CDN. And my site doesn't appear to be any faster.

I don't know what any of these things mean but perhaps someone could tell me what is safe to enable, what is necessary/unnecessary and what may cause problems with a CP site.

Thanks
