HTTPS site caching

    Explanation of HTTPS site page caching option.

    Under the page cache W3TC has option:
    “Cache SSL (https) requests” with explanation “Cache SSL requests (uniquely) for improved performance.”

    I’m wondering what the uniquely means here.

    Is anyone being able to explain it what it exactly does?

    I see from APCu cache stats that after a move to https, it probably cahces pages differently. I see less hits on single cached items and more items on cache.

    I’d like not to cache static pages over SSL uniquely, as there’s no end user value in it.

    Very simple. When you are submitting your site to Google you have to submit both the https and http version of the website. Because you can serve different content to both.

    W3TC does the same but with caching.. Its just smarter to enable that setting if you have an ssl.

    Thanks.

    So the uniquely does just mean that it separates the cache for http and https, in case you server web over both.

    Thanks for clarifying.
