Serve static HTML files for AJAX requests

    I want to use a caching plugin (any can do, WP Fastest Cache seems like a good choice).

    What I want is that the plugin handles AJAX calls as normal pages, so that for each call, a file with the response is saved to disk (and added to .htaccess).
    When the next time a user requests the same AJAX filtering (because that’s what I’m using it for right now); the server will serve the static html file saved from cache.

    It requires from my knowledge:
    1. handling AJAX calls as pages, thus making it possible to cache the full html
    2. using the AJAX call parameters (per ex. filtering, or sorting; like Color=blue, Price=Asc) for the different pages (e.g. the different html files
    3. adding to .htaccess to intercept client ajax requests and serve the static html instead

    Is such thing possible?

    If url has query string (e.g. /index.php?action=something&id=3), the url is not cached so I don’t think that what you expect is not possible in WPFC.

    Is it possible at all?

    I mean technically speaking, can we build something that does this?

    Plugin author responded:

    You should remove the line below from htaccess.
    RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !.+

    RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !.+

    This line prevents the url is served via cache if the url has query string like that /file.php?color=red&key=value
