A membership site can be fast for anonymous visitors and still leak the wrong account page after login if its cache rules are too broad. The answer is not to disable caching everywhere, but to identify which responses are private, transactional, or otherwise specific to a visitor.<\/p>\n

Here is how to choose precise exclusions, test them across user states, and keep ordinary public pages cacheable.<\/p>\n

    What it means<\/h2>\n

    A cache exclusion prevents a matching request or response from being stored in, or served from, a shared cache. The match may depend on the URL path, HTTP method, query string, cookie, login state, or a signal sent by WordPress. An exclusion is appropriate when the response contains personal data, performs an action, or must reflect current application state.<\/p>\n
