Does W3 Total Cache support caching of the plugin JSON API

for your json request to cache it would need to load wordpress’s initializer: wp-load.php since i would imagine e.g your ajax request is being processed by some arbitrary file that might not be loading it. This would initiallize all active plugins, etc. and by doing so would allow for w3tc to cache the returning result.

Alternatively you could generate your own caching in your file and make use of the ob_xxxx(..) output buffering.

Hi Kimberly, thanks for the response. Although, I honestly don’t know what your saying lol ??

So, can W3 Total Cache do this with the basic or pro/paid version? If so, how? I’d like to continue to use W3TC to do this. Not sure if other caching plugins can do this or not? Thanks in advance!

Hi James, yes the formatting is fine and not the issue (at least for the output). It’s the HTTP GET request which takes a bit. I’d really like to know if this plugin supports caching the other plugin? Do the devs on here ever reply to support posts?

Just bumping this up, seeing if anyone from this plugin can answer if they will cache other plugins? I emailed the devs through their website but never heard back. If someone knows how to do it and can explain it in simple terms, I’d appreciate it!

bump, just seeing if this can be done?
