 * I just started my first auction. Since auctions are dynamic, are there any issues
   I should be aware of when using the OpenLiteSpeed web server with LiteSpeed Cache
   and a CDN on AWS CloudFront?

 * Hello [@lbackstrom](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lbackstrom/),
 * The Ultimate Auction for Woocommerce plugin works with it. However we do not 
   recommend a cache plugin for users relying on auction functionality.
 * The plugin depends on real-time updates for auction elements such as product 
   prices, countdown timers, and bid data. These updates must occur instantly to
   ensure the accuracy and reliability of the auction system.
 * Cache plugins can interfere with this real-time functionality by optimizing or
   caching dynamic auction components, such as JavaScript for timers. For example,
   if a caching plugin optimizes or caches the auction timer, it may cause the timer
   to malfunction, leading to discrepancies. This is just one of many potential 
   issues that could arise.
 * To ensure the best performance and seamless operation of the Ultimate Auction
   for WooCommerce plugin, we strongly recommend avoiding the use of cache plugins.
   The plugin is specifically designed to function optimally without caching.
 * AWS CloudFront can work with an auction-based WordPress site. Auctions involve
   dynamic and time-sensitive content, so your setup should balance performance (
   caching) with real-time responsiveness.
 * Thank You

 * Based on your previous response and given the dynamic nature of an auction, it
   seems that using a Redis object cache can cause issues, especially with real-
   time updates like product prices, countdown timers, and bid data. While I understand
   that adjusting TTL or invalidation rules might help, I believe caching these 
   dynamic elements could interfere with the auction functionality by using stale
   data.
 * I think it goes without saying, you would recommend disabling the Redis object
   cache entirely to avoid potential issues?
 * Thanks in advanced,

 * Hello [@lbackstrom](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lbackstrom/),
   Thank you
   for your question. You are absolutely correct that using a Redis object cache
   can sometimes lead to issues with dynamic, real-time elements of an auction, 
   such as product prices, countdown timers, and bid updates. These features require
   instantaneous updates to ensure accurate data is displayed at all times.
 * To avoid these issues entirely, we recommend disabling Redis object caching for
   all woocommerce pages like shop page, auction shortcode pages, product detail
   page, category page, cart page, checkout page etc. It includes auction-related
   pages. If your Redis setup supports it, you can also configure cache exclusions
   specifically for these woocommerce pages, rather than disabling Redis across 
   your entire site.
   If there is no option to exclude specific pages from caching,
   you will need to disable caching entirely on your site.Thank You
