Cache Advanced Settings (SiteSpeed)

kivia

What are the optimal values for Maximum Cache Age and Minimum Cache Age? I need assistance in determining the best cache settings for improved performance.

kivia Good morning, Heather here I hope that you are well. This article explains more about how to get an optimal cache hit rate https://support.ezoic.com/kb/article/how-to-improve-my-cache-hit-rate

At the moment you have changed the maximum cache age to 30 minutes, this means that every 30 minutes Ezoic is going to your host and requesting a fresh copy of your site. We would recommend removing this restriction and setting up the Ezoic CDN manager ttps://support.ezoic.com/kb/article/how-can-i-set-up-the-ezoic-wordpress-plugin-for-cdn-management so that every time your site updates the smallest part of content the Ezoic CDN will clear the cache for that part only.

For the minimum, cache age 300 seconds is fine. many thanks

Thank you for responding to my previous message. Now, I would like to know the recommended value for the cache advance setting. I find the information on the corresponding page confusing, so I would appreciate your assistance in clarifying it for me.

kivia I'm happy to help. 🙂 Sure no problem, please can you send over a screengrab of this setting and I can then look into this for you. many thanks

Here is the current setting

Heather

kivia Ah I see thank you, please can you confirm if you have the Ezoic CDN manager set up? https://support.ezoic.com/kb/article/how-can-i-set-up-the-ezoic-wordpress-plugin-for-cdn-management

If the Ezoic plugin is installed and the API is configured, then...

kivia Great thank you for confirming this. This all looks to be set up ok, from looking at your cache hit rate everything looks to be ok there as well. You may see over the next couple of days your cache hit rate drops due to the changes that you have made today after that it should settle down: https://pubdash.ezoic.com/leap/caching
