# Cache control
|
|
|
|
By default, PHP add caching headers that make the page appear "purely dynamic".
|
|
This isn't usually appropriate for most sites, even ones that are updated reasonably frequently.
|
|
In particular, the default PHP cache-control settings prevent sites from appearing in the internet archive.
|
|
SilverStripe overrides the default settings with the following:
|
|
|
|
Default setting:
|
|
|
|
* The `Last-Modified` date is set to be most recent modification date of any database record queried in the generation of the page.
|
|
* The `Expiry` date is set by taking the age of the page and adding that to the current time.
|
|
* `Cache-Control` is set to `max-age=86400, must-revalidate`
|
|
* Since a visitor cookie is set, the site won't be cached by proxies
|
|
* Ajax requests are never cached.
|
|
|
|
Overriding these defaults
|
|
|
|
* `[api:HTTP::set_cache_age()]` can be used to set the max-age component of the cache-control line, in seconds.
|
|
Set it to 0 to disable caching; the "no-cache" clause in `Cache-Control` and `Pragma` will be included.
|
|
* `[api:HTTP::register_modification_date()]` can be used to set the modification date to something more recent than the default.
|
|
|
|
How it works:
|
|
|
|
* `[api:DataObject::__construct()]` calls `[api:HTTP::register_modification_date()]` whenever a record comes from the database
|
|
* `Controller::run()` calls `[api:HTTP::add_cache_headers()]` before outputting the page |
