SupercachePlugin

Static pages & files caching system for Pimcore.

Installation

composer require luklewluk/supercache

Also you will need to make changes in your rewrite configuration:

####Apache:

Edit your Pimcore .htaccess file by adding the following lines:

### >>>SUPERCACHE PLUGIN
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} !^(GET|HEAD) [OR]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !^$
RewriteRule . - [S=3]

RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/plugins/Supercache/webcache/%{HTTP_HOST}/$1/index.html -f
RewriteRule ^(.*) %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/plugins/Supercache/webcache/%{HTTP_HOST}/$1/index.html [L]

RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/plugins/Supercache/webcache/%{HTTP_HOST}/$1/index.js -f
RewriteRule ^(.*) %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/plugins/Supercache/webcache/%{HTTP_HOST}/$1/index.js [L]

RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/plugins/Supercache/webcache/%{HTTP_HOST}/$1/index.bin -f
RewriteRule ^(.*) %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/plugins/Supercache/webcache/%{HTTP_HOST}/$1/index.bin [L]
### <<<SUPERCACHE PLUGIN

It should be located after

# forbid the direct access to pimcore-internal data (eg. config-files, ...)

and before

# basic zend-framework setup see: http://framework.zend.com/manual/en/zend.controller.html

####Nginx:

Virtual host configuration:

Replace:

try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;

To:

try_files /plugins/Supercache/webcache/$http_host/$request_uri/index.js /plugins/Supercache/webcache/$http_host/$request_uri/index.html $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;

Some tests

Simple Pimcore blog and request time (TTFB) per page:

1. Supercache - ~0.37ms

2. Output Cache - ~31.5ms

3. Pimcore without extra cache - ~79.5ms

Cache cleaning

Currently any change clean the cache. It turned out to be the best solution especially if someone wants to use Supercache in really complex website with many object-document dependencies. If you want to clean cache manually you can do it by one of method below:

1. Clean "Output Cache" (since Pimcore 4.0)
2. Save any document or object in the Administration Panel.
3. Delete everything inside ./plugins/Supercache/webcache except .htaccess

Also Supercache is cleaned on maintenance mode activation (since Pimcore 4.0).

Issues

JSON response

Note: It can be useful if you want to cache JSON response as well.

Due to Pimcore/Zend good practices you suppose to encode your output to JSON by the helper with following command:

$this->_helper->json($json);

Unfortunately your response won't be cached because shutdown event can't be called. The easiest solution is replace it to:

echo $this->_helper->json($json, false);
