This guide helps you understand how Solid Performance manages cache exclusions for popular plugins automatically, ensuring optimal performance without compromising functionality. By the end, you’ll know how smart exclusions work and which pages are automatically excluded for WooCommerce and GiveWP.
Overview of Smart Exclusions
Smart Exclusions is a feature in Solid Performance that handles cache exclusions for certain plugins to enhance your website’s performance while maintaining proper functionality.
Key points: - Default exclusions are enabled automatically when specific plugins are active with Solid Performance. - Solid Performance monitors your active plugins and adjusts exclusions as needed.
WooCommerce Smart Exclusions
When WooCommerce is active, Solid Performance automatically excludes certain pages from caching. This maintains the integrity of your e-commerce functionality.
According to WooCommerce’s official documentation, specific pages must be excluded when using a page caching solution. Solid Performance ensures these pages are excluded:
- Cart
- Checkout
- My Account
Excluding these pages ensures customers always see up-to-date information about their orders, cart contents, and account details.
GiveWP Smart Exclusions
For websites using GiveWP, a popular donation plugin, Solid Performance also handles automatic cache exclusions. These exclusions are based on GiveWP’s troubleshooting tips for page caching.
When GiveWP is active, Solid Performance excludes the following pages from caching:
-
/donations
-
/donation-confirmation
-
/donor-dashboard
These exclusions ensure smooth donation processes, accurate confirmation pages, and real-time donor dashboard access.
