plone.app.caching

Introduction

This package provides a Plone UI and default rules for managing HTTP response caching in Plone. It builds on z3c.caching, plone.caching and plone.cachepurging.

Compatibility

Version	Plone
3.x	6.0 or above
2.x	5.2
1.x	5.1, 5.0, 4.3, 4.2, 4.1

Installation

plone.app.caching is shipped as a dependency of the Plone package, and it should be available on all Plone installations, but Caching is not enabled by default, although it is highly recommended to configure caching for every new Plone site.

After creating a new Plone site, go to Site Setup, then Addons and install HTTP caching support.

Under the Advanced header, look for the Caching control panel -- currently only supported on the Classic UI.

Troubleshooting

When the Caching control panel is not there, there can be various reasons for this:

• If your installation does not load the Plone package, but only Products.CMFPlone, then plone.app.caching is not included.
• If the package is included, but you add a Plone Site using the advanced form and disable caching, then the control panel is not there.

If you want to install it in an existing Plone Site:

1. Make sure the package is available in the Plone instance, by adding plone.app.caching or Plone to your installation.
2. From the Plone Site Setup go to the ZMI (Zope Management Interface).
3. Go to portal_setup, and then to the Import tab.
4. Select the HTTP caching support profile, perhaps easiest by id: profile-plone.app.caching:default.
5. Click 'Import all steps'.
