    Hi,
    I just wanted to check something. I was wondering if it is still necessary to exclude the wooocommerce cart, checkout,myaccount pages from w3tc caching or if that has been resolved.

    I’m asking because I’ve been troubleshooting my cart and checkout page to figure out why they load significantly slower than the rest of my pages and thought maybe it is related to caching.

    Thanks

    I read the following on woocommerce:
    “If using caching plugins (such as WP Super Cache or W3 Total Cache), make sure you exclude the following pages from the cache through their respective settings panels:

    Cart
    My Account
    Checkout

    These pages need to stay dynamic since they display information specific to the current customer.”

    And at the end says this:

    “Note, WC 1.4.2+ sets the DONOTCACHEPAGE, constant which means you can skip this step”

    In many cases DONOTCACHEPAGE is enough, however it’s largely due to config so it’s best to explicitly exclude those pages.

    Hi Mike,
    quick question for anybody (including me) that’s not quite sure.
    should I simply add the complete URL of the page that I want excluded from cache to “never cache this page”? + is it enough to only add it to page cache or should I also add it to any other caches (i.e. database cache)?

    thanks for your help!

    Use the never cache setting.
