Cache
Rapidez caches certain things to improve speed. It also provides some options to improve the speed even more! 🚀
Invalidation
After you have made changes to some Magento configuration, you need to clear the cache. This can be easily done by running the command php artisan cache:clear from the terminal. However, you can also automate this process just like with the indexer by using the cache clear URL /api/admin/cache/clear?token= and appending your token.
TIP
To disable the cache while developing, change the CACHE_DRIVER in the .env file to null.
Partial caching
When you have a template consuming too much time or resources and it doesn't have to do that every time, you could use @includeCached() to cache the partial.
Full page caching
Rapidez performs well out-of-the-box, but if you'd like to reduce the first load even more, you could add full page caching.
If you're using the Statamic integration, we recommend using their static caching as it supports multiple caching strategies, and invalidation comes with the package.
Alternatively, you could implement one of these packages with different strategies:
Cloudflare
Using Cloudflare's CDN edge you can speed up page responses even more (~30ms) by bringing the files closer to your customers. By default Cloudflare will not cache any pages, but you can configure it by creating a cache rule in Cloudflare with these settings:
- Cache eligibility
- Edge TTL
Use cache-control header if present, bypass cache if not- this ensures Cloudflare will not cache pages that don't explicitly state they can be cached
- Browser TTL
Respect origin TTL
With this Cloudflare will listen to the cache-control headers sent by your server, but by default Laravel and Rapidez will make each page response private, so no caching will be done. If you're sure your pages contain no private data (which is the case by default in Rapidez) you can add the Cache Control Middleware. These packages control it for you:
