Don't cache page UNLESS..

  • I have pages that aren’t completely loading (missing sidebar and footer), I’m trying to find a way to only create a cached version if the page completely loads. I’m just not sure what the best approach is; a few ideas..

    – Disable page cache unless something in the footer is triggered?
    – Cache page, but remove if page doesn’t completely load?
    – Create a script that removes pages from the cache if they don’t have a footer?
    – Use JS to check the page once it finishes loading and see if there is a footer or a specific tag. If not use Ajax to call:

    Purge a single post / page by passing it's ID: if (function_exists('w3tc_pgcache_flush_post')) { w3tc_pgcache_flush_post($post_id); }

    Any help would be appreciated!
    Thanks!

    I was able to solve my problem with a little bit of jquery. In case any needs this in the future, here’s the JS I put in the head of my pages.

    <script>
	jQuery(window).load(function(){
		if ( jQuery( 'footer' ).length ) {

		} else {
			$.get( '<?php echo 'https://'.$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']; ?>?w3tc_note=pgcache_purge_page' );
		}
	});
</script>

    I’m checking to see if ‘footer’ exists, if not it will purge the page from the cache to ensure that the next time the page is viewed a newly cached version is available.
