Static Caching

Static Caching is a must-have for Statamic sites. It helps to make your website blazing fast, which is important for e-commerce sites, where every second counts.

However, there's a few things you should configure before using static caching with Cargo.

Dynamic Content

You should use the {{ nocache }} tag anywhere you're displaying information about the customer's cart on your frontend.

This could be a counter in your nav, or a dynamic section on a product page that shows different content based on if a product has been added to the cart.

+{{ nocache }} 
 	{{ if ! {cart:is_empty} }}
 	    <a href="/cart">
 	        {{ {cart:line_items} | count }} items
 	    </a>  
 	{{ /if }}
+{{ /nocache }} 

<statamic:nocache>
	@if(! Statamic::tag('cart:is_empty'))
		<a href="/cart">
			{{ count(Statamic::tag('cart:line_items')) }} items
		</a>  
	@endif
</statamic:nocache>

Cart & Checkout pages

Since cart and checkout pages are dynamic, we strongly recommend excluding them from the static cache.

  // config/statamic/static_caching.php 
  
  return [
  	'exclude' => [
  		'class' => null,
  		
  		'urls' => [
 +			'/cart', 
 +			'/checkout*', 
         ],
     ],
 ];
