# Don’t cache widget

 * I’m thinking of switching from wp-fastest cache to wp-optimize. But I missed 
   a very important feature for my website: don’t cache this widget.
    How to do 
   this with your plugin?
 * Or first process the header (for example, if a user has accessed via google then
   opens a specific screen, otherwise, it does not)
    Thanks

 * Unfortunately, this isn’t currently possible.

 * It could be an important feature to add. I’m bypassing this issue by re-saving
   the widget everytime I add a new post. It’s the only way I’ve found to have the
   latest posts updated on the sidebar. Despite this issue WP-Optimize is an awsome
   cache plugin too.

 * Saving the widgets simply purges all the cache, so you could do just that.
 * If you want to do it automatically, you can use the `wpo_purge_all_cache_on_update`
   filter:
 * `add_filter( 'wpo_purge_all_cache_on_update', '__return_true' );`
 * or for something more specific:
 *     ```
       add_filter( 'wpo_purge_all_cache_on_update', function($purge, $post_id) {
       	// Check something about that post (e.g. post_type, category...)
       	if (checksomething($post_id)) {
       		return true;
       	}
       	return $purge;
       }, 20, 2 );
       ```
