Caching

    I really like the way your plugin has been implemented and would love to keep using it, but I’ve discovered a major issue for those of us that need to cache our WooCommerce sites for performance.

    I’m using W3 Total Cache and setting the pages to be cached for both regular users and Wholesale Customer users since over 50% of our users are Wholesale Customers. But I’ve discovered that with the caching on, the wholesale customers often are not seeing the wholesale prices. Or even worse, the wholesale priced products are getting cached so that regular users are seeing wholesale prices! Do you know if there’s a way around this with your plugin?

    W3 Total Cache fragments would be nice, but that’s very specific to W3TC… In my research, I noticed that Stephen Sherrard’s Wholesale Ordering plugin implemented this:
    “WooCommerce is now caching variation prices for variable products, which could also in some circumstances return the wrong prices (wholesale/retail). This version now filters the hash key for the variation prices and sets a different value for retail vs wholesale prices, so they can still be cached, but will ensure the wrong values are not retrieved from the cache.”

    Let me know if you have any insight for getting this to work with your plugin. Thanks!

    Hi JboyJW,

    Definitely something we’re going to explore, but we haven’t really addressed anything specific for this as yet.

    If you’re using W3 Total Cache I would recommend maybe exploring fragment caching so you can exclude the whole product summary/add to cart area from your cache as this is a highly dynamic area and in my opinion shouldn’t be cached anyway.

    I’m not a W3 Total Cache expert, but from reading a few posts about the place, I think the code structure for this is something along the lines of:
    — wp-config.php
    define(‘W3TC_DYNAMIC_SECURITY’, ‘FRAGMENT_CACHING’);

    — put this in your WooCommerce template overrides in your theme
    <!– mfunc FRAGMENT_CACHING –>
    // this won’t be cached
    <!– /mfunc FRAGMENT_CACHING –>

    Caching and e-commerce sites has always been a bit of a prickly problem, so its something we will definitely be looking into more deeply soon.

    Thanks very much for the feedback. Would be great to have something built in to the plugin, but in the meantime, adding the fragment code to the whole summary section makes sense to me. I’ll also need to add it to the pricing portion of any product list items.

    Thanks for your time!
