Does Quick Cache index all searches on the site?
I’m not sure what you mean by this. Quick Cache is a caching plugin. Do we cache all searches? If your searches contain query strings variables (e.g., ?s=search-term) then you must have GET Request caching enabled (see Quick Cache ⥱ Plugin Options ⥱ GET Requests). Quick Cache will then cache any searches and serve the cached file upon subsequent identical searches.
Including tags/categories.
Yes, Quick Cache will cache tags/category archive pages.
Does this occur over time. So is there a wait for our entire site to become cached?
Pages will be cached the first time they are visited, but if you use the Quick Cache Pro Auto-Cache Engine (see Quick Cache ⥱ Plugin Options ⥱ Auto-Cache Engine; if you’re using Quick Cache Lite aka the free version, you can use the Pro Preview to see the Auto-Cache Engine option: Quick Cache ⥱ Plugin Options → Pro Preview (top left)).
OK let’s see:
ALL of our searches includes query strings??
We ARE using friendly permalinks as well
QC – says only use one or the other and preferably NOT caching GET requests – so that is confusing and seems inflexible. Programming the exceptions is a lot of work.
Your explanation is contrary to the recommended on the plugin README itself.
We presently have 150,000 listings.
How can I cache so many pages so our Viewers can use the site?
The search results currently simply return a blank page – but now I understand about that arising from the lack of caching GETs.
Does the Pro Version cover these issues and is it an multi site license?
FYI
I would interested in buying the premium version if you could provide an answer for the issue of GET requests.
Reminder: we use friendly URLs for our normal structure.
We have extensive search results obtained by GET requests.
