    I have unselected Don’t show the cached version for logged-in users on my woocommerce shop website.

    Because outside My-Account pages the content is the same logged in or logged out.

    Is this a security risk and why is that so ?

    Hi @slservice33,

    Unless I misunderstood you, if you do not want your WooCommerce pages to be cached, then you must select “Logged-in Users: Don’t show the cached version for logged-in users” After selecting it, purge all of your cache layers (including CDN).

    From experience, there is no security risk when using this plugin.

    Cheers!

    Hi, no my question relates to showing the cached version to logged in users.

    Can you clarify if for a simple Woocommerce shop I should enable or disable this option.

    Hey @slservice33,

    This document should help solve your issue. If not, then wait for the developer of this plugin to respond — or consult your host. Last, make sure you’re not using any other caching plugin.

    Personally, I would leave that setting checked.

    If the above solved your issue, kindly consider closing your topic as “Resolved.”

    Cheers!

    Thanks. You say you would leave it checked but you dont say why ?

    The my-account pages aren’t cached and the other site pages would be the same logged in or out.

    Is there a reason I dont’ know about for not showing logged in users cached pages ?
