[Hosting] Improve static server caching location-based caching. For my Aelia currency switching pl

0

Make the static server caching location-based caching.
For my Aelia currency switching plugin in Woocommerce, I rely on geolocation and a NGINX rule implemented in the static server caching could help me with server performance and geolocation.

    Hi Django ,

    I hope you’re doing well.

    I’ve forwarded your feature request to the team, note that as it’s a new feature request, the team needs to discuss the feature and then, depending on other factors, they could work on the feature development. I can’t make any promises or provide an ETA, but rest assured that our team reviews all the feature requests.

    For your reference, to see if WPMUDEV is one of the hosting providers that do caching the right way or not.

    Aelia:
    The status of Dynamic Caching today
    We keep contacting as many hosting providers as possible, explaining them how they should update their caching systems to bring them up to speed. Our objective is to make it clear that handling highly dynamic caching is a must, not just a “frill”.

    Quite a few providers agreed with our approach, and allow their customers to customise the caching logic as required. Others, like the WP Engine team, showed interest in our solution, and are currently reviewing it, for future implementation. There are some who are still “lagging behind”, and there are a few, such as CloudFlare, who only offer dynamic caching on their most expensive plans.

    Due to these limitations, imposed by an obsolete architecture, merchants have make a difficult decision:

    Change hosting/service provider and move to one that handles caching as it should. This would make sense, but it’s not always possible. Besides, merchants might have invested a significant sum in current service.
    Disable the caching system they are using, and for which they might have been paying a service fee.
    Abandon the idea of a multi-currency, multi-language site, potentially risking to drive away audience.
    While we still maintain that caching issues must be addressed on the caching layer, we wanted to find a solution that would help merchants, at least temporarily, while the service providers update their system.

    Hi Django ,

    Thanks for your feedback and continued participation regarding this feature. As we mentioned in our earlier response, this has been escalated further to our hosting team for further review. I’m hoping this request gets enough attention so it can be considered sooner.

      Thanks, just adding since some WPMUDEV support agent did put the dynamic caching into the shoes of the Aelia plugin. What should not be the case.
      I also noticed that WPMUDEV hosting, nor the Hummingbird pro cache plugin are in the list of dynamic cache alternatives. Although, NGINX instructions are listed for implementation.

      Some host, CDN and plugins are working well with dynamic cache. I hope to enjoy this too with WPMUDEV , as a long standing premium member.

        Hi Django

        Hope you are doing fine

        I have shared this information with the team about neither WPMUDEV hosting, nor the Hummingbird pro cache plugin are in the list of dynamic cache alternatives, as well.

        Thanks for your interest on improving our products and services.

        Kind regards
