Seems to work well with Woocommerce

The only thing, I’ve noticed: in Chrome big background image was reloading each time on page refresh, I fixed it adding in .htaccess:
## EXPIRES CACHING ##
<IfModule mod_expires.c>
ExpiresActive On
ExpiresByType image/jpg “access plus 1 week”
ExpiresByType image/jpeg “access plus 1 week”
ExpiresByType image/gif “access plus 1 week”
ExpiresByType image/png “access plus 1 week”
ExpiresByType text/css “access plus 1 week”
ExpiresByType application/pdf “access plus 1 week”
ExpiresByType text/x-javascript “access plus 1 week”
ExpiresByType application/x-shockwave-flash “access plus 1 week”
ExpiresByType image/x-icon “access plus 1 week”
ExpiresDefault “access plus 1 week”
</IfModule>
## EXPIRES CACHING ##

Not sure if it’s right…

Glad to hear GatorCache is working out for you with the new WooCommerce version. Products and their associated archive caches are designed to be refreshed when products are updated, so you don’t have to worry about “delete cache” every time something is updated.

Regarding your htaccess rules, we don’t include optimizations like that in the recommended Apache rules. Sometimes a host or server will already have something like this in place.

Looking at your expires rules, they look about right. However, I’d remove the “ExpiresDefault” directive, it’s not needed and could cause file types that you would not want cached to be cached by the visitor’s browser. Usually I’d set a higher expires, especially since Worpress appends the version to scripts and such. Other than that, it looks like you’re good to go.

thanks for your tip!

Also added a review here ??

I have tried a variety of caching plugins but none seem to be able to handle a woocommerce site that has about 14,000 products. I see that the home page, categories and sub-categories load very fast with Gator Cache. Products that I have visited load fast but when I click on a product that I have not viewed before, it is still very slow.

These are affiliate products that are imported into woocommerce. How can I make this site load products faster when clicked on?

Also, I believe that the I included the wishlist page to not get cached but only works when I clear cache manually.

Thanks

The cache works like a typical origin pull. On the first visit, the page will be created by WordPress and the cached page will be generated. Then on subsequent visits the page will be served from the cache. What would probably work out in your case would be a cache warmer, something that would crawl your pages and populate the cache.

Hello,
Happy to learn that someone interested in caching WooCommerce.
6 months that I’m testing pluging without success.
Is that I can try with WooCommerce 2.0.20?
thanks for tou answer
Best regards

@ecoprox, GatorCache is compatible with WooCommerce 2.0.x and 2.1.x, It will cache products and not cache your cart and checkout pages.

@gatordog,Thank you for your reply, my first impression is a great plugin.
I test
has soon

hello GatorDog,
I’m testing plugin, i’m 2 problem :
– when a product woocommerce is in a cache you can not add more to cart.
– Search product does not function.
Every thing i’m forgot to make ?
Regard

@ecoprox

1) A product can be added to the cart from a cached product page either though ajax or a regular post. Post requests are not effected by the cache. If your theme has an ajax mini-cart it will be updated as well on any cached page.

2) GatorCache won’t cache any post request or get request with a query string like you see with the product search. It does not effect this functionality.

Are you’re using the http cache (htaccess)? This may effect the search if there’s not a rule about skipping the cache if the request query is not empty.

hello,
Yes i’m using cache http in htaccess.
By removing all line http gator cache the pluging work very well.
Have you idéa ?
