Cache clearing

There is an option to clear cache after a scheduled post is made. Are you running Falcon or the basic caching?

Hello Tim,

I am using the Falcon caching engine.

I don’t want the entire cache to be cleared each time a new post is made to the website. The old posts should remain in the cache. The one page that lists all the posts has been excluded using the exclusion setting.

Thanks

Let me get understand better. You want the ability to clear just the cache on maybe the home page or page where your posts reside as opposed to all the cache being cleared. Is that right?

I’m still waiting to talk to the dev team to get a clearer understanding from them so my answer to you is more definitive, but I was wondering if this is what you are after so I might suggest it as an option.

Yes Tim.

I do not want the entire Cache to be cleared.

In addition to the Falcon engine, via the .htaccess file, I have enabled browser caching for the users. So each time the cache is cleared, the entire browser cache needs to be rebuilt and therefore slows down the user experience.

I have already set the exceptions so that the page on which all the posts appear and the homepage are not cached.

Thanks
Kevin

Ok. I think there is a option that states that when a scheduled post is made it clears all the cache when it goes live. Let me ask to be sure that is exactly what it does and if we can restrict that to only clearing the home page or page that has the list of posts.

And, so I tell them your specific set up as it relates to your request, you have added code to the htaccess file that requests it clear the users browser cache on page load. Can you add your htaccess file here so I can send it with the question?

Thanks

Tim

Hello Tim

I have added the following lines to the .htaccess file

## EXPIRES CACHING ##
<IfModule mod_expires.c>
ExpiresActive On
ExpiresByType image/jpg “access 1 year “
ExpiresByType image/jpeg “access 1 year “
ExpiresByType image/gif “access 1 year “
ExpiresByType image/png “access 1 year “
ExpiresByType text/css “access 1 month”
ExpiresByType application/pdf “access 1 year “
ExpiresByType text/x-javascript “access 1 month”
ExpiresByType image/x-icon “access 1 year”
ExpiresDefault “access 2 days”
</IfModule>
## EXPIRES CACHING ##

this stores images, css, etc. on the user’s browser’s cache for the duration specified above per the type of file cached.

Thanks a bunch.

Where is that in relation to the Falcon code there. Before? After?

tim

The Falcon code is at the start of my .htaccess file.

My browser caching code above appears after the Falcon engine.

Thanks
Kevin

Hello Tim,

Any update on the implementation of this request?

Thanks

I see a ticket in the pipeline, and I’m adding your specific suggestion to it since it encompasses a few other ones, like check boxes to choose what and what doesn’t trigger a clear.
