Kentico Cache?
Hi,

Firstly does Kentico have it's own caching system and if so, is there a setting to completely disable it?

Cheers
Paul.

Hi Paul,

Kentico has a lot of caching options avaialble to you.

Within the API you can use the CacheHelper class to insert items in and out of the cache.

From the CMS desk you can set the master page (top level page) to have a time for output caching and this by default will inherit down the site.

I'm not sure why you would want to disable caching completely, it is far better to keep caching on as it gives you significant performance boost. Kentico is very intelligent and updates the cache as and when it updates documents.

Thanks,

Matt

Hello Paul,

Yes, Kentico has also it's own caching system, you can manage it via Settings section in the CMS Site Manager -> Settings -> System -> Performance. For more details take a look at our Developers Guide: Caching options and you can find also some caching related keys in the web.config.

Hi Guys,

Thank you for your replies.

Are you certain the Kentico caching system works OK? Does it refresh if anything changes including files?

Cheers
Paul.

Hi Paul,

Yes, it refreshes according to your settings as well as the part of system we are talking about.. files are refreshed immediately, the Web Parts and Widgets could use their own cache system, etc..

Best Regards,
