Sliders on Cached Page

    Hello!

    If I am correct, I now have the plugin working successfully on my site! (Great to see such a fine addition to WordPress.) However I have a question. My web site (see link) seems to successfully cache all of the home page except for the two sliders. In “incognito” mode, the page loads quite rapidly, but the two sliders take about 5 additional seconds to load. I assume the sliders are not part of the cache.

    My question is this: Is there any way to cache the sliders? Or is there any other way to speed up their load time?

    I do have the Fallback Page Caching enabled.

    Before installing this plugin I was using Autoptomize, but now have it disabled – so there are no cache plugins being used other than Cloudflare and WP Cloudflare Super Page Cache.

    Thanks for your thoughts on this!

    I have continued to work on the page. I re-enabled the Fallback Page Caching, and removed an AcyMailing Widget that allowed users to request previous newsletters. The sliders are now loading much quicker. My GTMetrix score is still an “E”, but I’m working on it…..

    The headers for my home web site page say….
    cache-control: no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate
    cf-cache-status: BYPASS

    I assume this means that something is preventing the home page from being cached – perhaps the sliders?

    Hi @robertmaynord,
    Looking at your home page of the website it seems you have set the plugin settings a way which disables the caching on the home page. Screenshot: https://i.imgur.com/Jlb81qW.png
    Check the plugin settings and ensure your front page is not bypassed from cache.

    Whereas when I go inside an article it is caching properly. Screenshot: https://i.imgur.com/2a7cVMJ.png
    But there are 2 cache-control headers. Figure out what is adding the second cache control and remove that.

    Thanks, Saumya, for the note! I appreciate your help. I believe I have it up and running now, but I am not really sure what the problem was. I tried turning off all the “Don’t Cache” settings under the Cache tab, and tried multiple settings on the Third Party page – all with no luck. Eventually, I ended up doing a “Reset all” but that didn’t solve the problem until I Disabled the Cache Page and re-enabled it. At that point, Chrome (after re-load) still showed an error, but Firefox showed a “HIT”! Eventually Chrome started showing “HIT” as well.

    With all this said, TEST CACHE still (even now) shows an error. I suspect that previously I had seen the TEST CACHE error and tried to fix it using “Strip response cookies on pages that should be cached” – and this may have been the start of the problem.

    In any case, so far the solution seems to be to do a “Reset All” then Disable and re-enable the Cache – followed by waiting a few minutes for Cloudflare to catch up.

    Perhaps this will help someone else…..

    Thanks again for your time!!
