Prevent images from being purged from the cache

  • Is there any way to prevent images from being purged from the cache when the cache is purged (eith a limited purge or a purge everything)?

    I have a site that has a lot of images for products. These don’t change. It would be much more efficient if these stayed cached and were not purged when pages/post etc on the site were update (which currently results in a wider or complete purge of the site cache).

    Thanks.

    Enable the “Purge HTML pages only” option: https://i.imgur.com/0sXRDrV.png

    Thanks.

    If I enable that, then CSS and JS files will not be purged? Is that correct?

    Is there any way to ensure just images are not purged? Maybe a custom function, or a php snippet?

    Thanks for your help.

    – No they won’t. To purge then you need to use the option Force Purge Everything under the purge cache option.

    – There is not as images fall under static files just like any other static files. You don’t need to change your css/js files often so they can be cached for a long duration like images. But the choice is up to you.
