    Hi,

    Correct me if I am wrong, but w3tc does not cache the output from WPTouch or other mobile themes?

    Is there anyway to get w3tc to page mobile output and normal output?

    I don’t want iphone users hammering my server and slowing it down for everyone else!

    Kind regards,

    Paul

    It only does not cache the output from WPtouch or similar plugins when the instructions here are followed: http://nimopress.com/pressed/blog-building-how-to-configure-w3-total-cache-to-work-with-wptouch-for-wordpress/

    Unlikely. For now, if you have so many mobile users then you should reject those and cache WPtouch instead. Even if not, unless you have lots of comments submitted frequently your non-mobile users will always get cached pages. Furthermore, the use of database caching reduces execution time for all cases described here (and more).

    But if I cache WPTouch output for mobile users won’t it create a situation where regular users could get delivered a cached mobile version of a mobile and mobile users could get delivered a non-mobile page?

    (Assuming disk based caching with the webserver serving up cached pages if they are cached on the disk)

    All I did is try to explain that if your site was mobile only you can cache WPTouch pages and not your default theme pages. Either configuration is possible simply by rejecting the user agents that represent the smaller subset of users, so they’re not cached. This is a non-issue in the next release.

    Oh right, I get you.

    So the next release will be able to cache both?

    How far away is the next release?

    Yes, not too far.
