Hello @nate1
Thank you for reaching out and I am happy to help!
Can you please share which caching method you are using for DB caching and if you are on a shared server or VPS/Dedicated?
I am asking this because if on a shared server and caching to disk, DB cache often slows down your website and is causing issues like this.
So it’s recommended to use memory-based caching like Redis or Memcached which are most of the time available only after upgrading the hosting plan.
I cannot say specifically what needs to be excluded, however, you have the options in Performance>Database cache:
Ignored query stems: (Do not cache queries that contain these terms. )
Reject query words: (Do not cache queries that contain specific words or regular expressions)
Reject constants:(Disable caching once specified constants defined.)
Thanks!

Hello Marko,
We are running 3.6Ghz web servers, DDR4, with NVMe harddrives (VPS). So not particularly slow, and all sites on the servers are managed in house.
I may have to do some tests in Redis to validate whether that is the case.
But thanks for the notes on the stems, etc, will post which can be excluded once I track them down and test.
