Pre-Sale Questions: Cache Logged in Users

[nhudell]

I have been reading other users experiences, and the very long article on this amazing Acceleration component, and I have three small questions to ask, I hope this is the correct forum for this.

1. Is it possible to use the caching for logged in users, so that return visitors who make comments and create content can experience the same speed as guests? I hope so, because it would be a shame if a new user visited the website, and then became a member, but then have a slow experience on the website.

2. When I was reading about "Actions" that clear the cache, I understood this to mean that if a user changes content (eg: makes a new comment/blog post/edits article) then the cache is cleared. Does this clear the cache for the content for the entire website, or just the specific page.

3. The major component I use is EventList. I think some other users here use this also, does EventList and this Accelerator component work well together? Also, this might be too specific - but if an admin creates a new event in the back-end, will this clear the entire cache? Or just the pages where the new event would be visible?

Thank you. My website is in need of a speed boost, and I hope that this cache Accelerator can help me.

Unfortunatily that is not possible....Since you should then keep track which cached page (and parts) belongs to specific user (groups).

In the comming release you define actions which will clear the referrer page only from which the action is trickered. For example if a visitor makes a comment to an article this article / comment page can be cleared only leaving the other pages within the cache.

Also on the backend you can clear the cache if certain actions are triggered. Only then the whole cache is cleared....

Hi Richard,

Thank you for the very fast reply

Maybe I was not clear before, I wonder if it is possible for a logged in user to access the same fast cached page as guest visitors. Is there an option for this?

If not, is this because the page for a logged in user displays their unique details (eg: "Hi, User123 [logout] - [user-avatar]")?

Does this unique information make loading a cache of the rest of the page (article contents, template's, CSS Images) impossible?

If so, I understand. Thank you again.

No this is not possbile, because some elements on the page can by user specific (as the example you mention), the logout button, the usermenu, the display of editing items, etc...

Regards,

Richard
