Use Custom Caching

The default Server Caching settings can be overridden by using caching parameters entered in "Connect Tags" and URLs used to retrieve data.

Custom Caching can only be used when a Server's default Web Content Cache is set to None or Advanced Caching. If Basic Caching is used as your default Web Content Cache, Custom Caching cannot be used.

There are two basic methods in which Custom Caching can be used with your default Server Caching settings:

Default Server Caching Enabled In this scenario, some form of default Server Caching has been enabled. Caching Parameters within "Connect Tags" and URLs can be used to either:

  • disable caching for the data being requested, or
  • apply different caching parameters to the data being requested.

This method is used with Sites that are mostly static, but which contain a few dynamic elements that require a different caching strategy from the Server's default caching strategy.

Default Server Caching Disabled In this scenario, default Server Caching has been disabled. Caching Parameters within "Connect Tags" and URLs can be used to enable caching for the data being requested.

This scenario is used with Sites that contain a large number of elements requiring different caching strategies.
