# Random code – issue with caching

 * Hi
   I am using a random code script to show quotes on a template.
 *     ```wp-block-code
       $rows = get_field('quote' ); if( $rows ) { $index = array_rand( $rows ); $rand_row = $rows[ $index ]; $rand_row_quote = $rand_row['client_quote']; $rand_row_quote_source = $rand_row['quote_source']; ?> <div class="smquotebox"> <div class="smquoteboxin"> <blockquote> <?php echo $rand_row_quote; ?> <footer><?php $rand_row_quote_source; ?></footer> </blockquote> </div> </div>
       ```
   
 * This is working fine without caching, but when I enable caching it doesn’t work.
   
   Is there a way to exclude the random code from caching in the plugin, without
   excluding the whole page?(If I exclude the page in settings it works, but I would
   rather not exclude all the pages using this template)
 * Many thanks for any help!

   HmmmmDo you have
   Server Litespeed Enterprise? You can use ESI. Then convert shortcode to ESI tag:
   [https://docs.litespeedtech.com/lscache/lscwp/admin/#turning-wordpress-shortcodes-into-esi-blocks](https://docs.litespeedtech.com/lscache/lscwp/admin/#turning-wordpress-shortcodes-into-esi-blocks)
   Other solution I would try is a AJAX request after page is loaded. This would
   be the terotical solution that would work and make sure is not cached.
