Caching

Hey there! Hopefully I cached you at a good time. My name is Connor Porter and I'm a

technical support specialist here at Zoic. Today we're going to be talking about caching and how

it can benefit your site for a multitude of reasons. So what is caching? Well, it's servers

local to the users of your site that can store a saved copy so it can deliver your site faster

So why does it benefit you? Well, it can drastically help improve LCP scores and also

boost your page RPM performance drastically. It's vitally important that you have the Zoic cache

working properly even if you have caching externally either through your host or a plugin

And with these multiple layers of caching when set up properly it won't affect your Zoic site

negatively. What to do first? Well, the first thing is to go into your dashboard

Go to the Leap tab right here. Go to caching. You're going to scroll all the way down here and then go to the debug cache

You're going to enter your domain. The result you are going to want to see is subsequent calls will be cache hits. A cache

has to first miss before it can be a hit and that's why your Zoic cache hit rate can never

be 100% exactly. Having said that, I like to get you darn close to it. So if you scroll up here

you go to advanced settings, you're going to come down to default cache age. Now you're going to

want to make sure it's set to 90 days or 777-6000. 777-6000. Kind of sounds like an info commercial

phone number, doesn't it? If you go down a little further, you're going to see override cache

control headers and this should be set to on as well. So you're going to want to make sure that

is set to on as well. Just below that, you'll see force caching by device. That should be set to on

and one last one, ignore cache control headers, no cache should be set to on as well. With these on

it'll maintain that your Zoic cache is working properly. Confused yet? Well, if so, clear that

cache in your head because we have a little bit more to go. Any site that has a Zoic cache working

properly can see a boost in page RPM performance by 55%. 55%. More so, constant requests between

Zoic or your host or any other thing can lead to origin errors, 502 errors, 520 errors and nobody

wants that at all. So let's make sure your Zoic cache is working properly. So go follow my steps

and remember, that's your order from Connor Porter
