Caching WP-Admin

    Hello,

    I’m not sure if I am missing a setting somewhere (there are so many!) but I’m wondering if this plugin is able to cache the wp-admin? If so, I’d like to turn it off. Things like my plugins page won’t update (refresh) when loading it because it is loading cached. The dashboard also loads cached.

    I can tell in two ways:
    1) The pages load in about .5 seconds. This is not a normal speed. Something like 3-4 seconds is more normal.
    2) If I open dev-tools and right-click the reload icon and choose “empty cache & hard refresh” the page takes the normal 3-4 seconds to load (but the plugin page still has a problem showing plugins that were just updated).

    Hopefully I’m just missing the setting to turn it off? Using latest version (v2.2.4)

    Thank you in advanced!

    Hello @ddapparel

    Thank you for reaching out and I am happy to assist you with this.
    Yes W3TC does have the ability to cache for logged-in users and cache wp-admin requests, and this depends on the Features enabled in the General settings.
    If you have for example Page Caching, Object Caching, Db Cacching, and Minify enabled, you can go to the individual settings of these features and make sure that the following options are addressed:
    Page Cache – “Don’t cache pages for logged-in users” – enable
    Object Cache – Enable caching for wp-admin requests – disable
    Database Cache – Don’t cache queries for logged-in users – enable
    Minify – Disable minify for logged-in users – enable

    If you are using Object Caching and Database Caching, and caching to disk, you should consider using a memory-based caching solution like Redis or Memcached as it’s not recommended to cache DB queries to disk.

    Thanks!

    Hi @vmarko

    Thank you for the quick reply!

    That helped out a lot, I had the database cache enabled for logged-in users and the object cache was also enabled for the wp-admin. That was what I was looking for! Thank you for that information 🙂 (and the tid-bit about the db queries not to disk) much appreciate it!
