Add option to disable session data.
-
Since 3.5.0 sessions have been introduced to this plugin which are created on every page. This breaks cloudflare page caching provided by Super Page Cache for Cloudflare plugin across my entire website (which requires no sessions or cookies or the cache is bypassed). It also breaks our hostings page cache mechanism too (which is similar).
It’s my understanding that sessions are kind of a bad idea in 2023, a session generally implies unique data for that user and breaks caches. So unless you are of course logged in, or checking out or something, it should be avoided. But I understand it may have been added to support some of the more advanced features of this plugin.
I personally only use referer on one form on our website — we just need to know where they came from, which worked perfectly on 3.4.0 with cache disabled for that one page which held the form.
But now the plugin has effectively disabled the page cache across our entire website, which is really not worth it for the functionality we need on one page.
