My thought process was that it may be helpful to block these shortcode because they often change and the images are hotlinked from a other 3rd party. And I thought it may be idea to keep the balance of the page cached.

So that it may deliver faster, particularly for mobile users. Thus the reason I thought the ESI can block the elements which I cannot cache from 3rd parties

emailed. thank you.

I presume you think this can be advantageous for me to deploy this.
IS there a specific plugin of the 3 you think this will help with (eventon, instagram, rss feed)

ok.

I presume I should delete the test files I created?

it says “enabled”

I created a file named “esitest” in public_html and pasted that code

Not sure what the next step is?

The enable esi box was green and has been for about 10 days indicating the on position. The other 2 options on the page are off.

I just toggled enable ESI off and saved, and then back to on and saved.

The eventon shortcode on this page is the one which displays proper once the ESI is removed.

yes. Its enabled.

I use 3 applications of shortcodes.
An event calendar, RSS feed, and instagram.

When I test it to a single part shortcode, the “esi” being added outputs the text. When OI remove it, it works correctly.

Is it possible that it would work with my multi part shortcode with modifications? I would assume the event calendar is

it output the text contained within the shortcode. Instead of executing the shortcode

[srr_feed merge_feeds=”0″ count=”10″ visible_items=”10″ color_style=”orange” thumbnail_size=”350px” grid_columns=”2″ thumbnail_position=”cover” thumbnail_force=”always” display_type=”grid” urls=”https://aestheticamagazine.com/feed/” tab_titles=”Aesthetica Magazine” template=”%%thumbnail%% %%title%% %%description%% %%metadata%%” show_date=”1″ show_source=”next_date” show_thumb=”1″ rich_desc=”0″ read_more=”0″ show_author=”1″]

Hi.

Ive read that and every other article I can find on the subject. And it seems it can be applied through modify a shortcode by putting “esi” and ttl=”x” within.

But when I add those to the shoertcode, it outputs the text and does not execute.

so before I ask you to help me troubleshoot. Ive been trying to ask if it is prudent to use on a page like this which has content that get fed via RSS 2x per day. https://xzib.com/miami/news

if it is prudent, can you advise me why its not working when I modify the shortcode.

I do have the crawler running. However I presume this will help keep things on the node for when there is an event outside of the USA(where my server is located)

Ok cool. And thank you for your responses.

So in my case. I really dont want to add extra complications, however Id love to understand if ESI is a potential tool I need now, or in the future.

The events I post are all over the world. usually over 4 days when I get bursts of traffic. Thus Im trying to identify if ESI could allow me to obscure the RSS feed from cache. So that they page will stay on the CDN node, or the origin node.

We are going to start to write Google news optimized articles, and Im trying to identify what content I can build into the page. And if I can prevent the rapidly changing content from breaking the cache.

Or I could be wayy off on this line of thinking. Please advise any thoughts. I linked to the 2 types of pages with embeds that I think are busting the cache

The ratio Im referring to is the data magnitude in kb. Which is what I thought would be more important. ( Perhaps not. )

Re: header tags:
@qtwrk In another thread you had written that a lack of an x-litespeed in the header tag meant that that there was no cache at ALL.
Or did I mis interpret what you had written?

Did switching on the ESI somehow cause the x-litespeed tags to disappear? And the x-qc-cache:hit to start happening?

Based on my original query and details am I correct to be using ESI?

I had another follow up question Regarding ESI.
Im using Perfmatters to defer/delay JS and CSS.
And I have 2 plugins running RSS feeds and instagram feeds that get updated 1-2x daily.

These are installed on the wordpress pages with shortcodes. Am I a candidate for using ESI to block the problematic feeds from being cached?

Yes. I imagine the list can get lengthy if you are passionate about this work.

Anyhow. I have relationships in this industry and Im likely going to get into hosting and helping galleries/museums get better solutions into place. Im trying to build my rolodex of litespeed experts to work. I plan on utilizing the a2 products. If you do consulting type stuff let know and we can schedule a quick chat. And thanks for your input otherwise
