    I could really do with a little help. Ran Google Page Speed Insights on site and got a very low score. I then installed GD Booster and it seems to have made no difference to the page speed results. I have GD Booster set to show notes in source code but I can’t see any at the foot of source code where it says in the setup that they should be.

    When I checked the cache folder by ftp there are only two files in it .htaccess and gdb-advanced-cache . There is another folder in wp-content called booster-cache which does have files in it but I am confused as this isn’t the folder mentioned in the GD Booster setup page.

    To be honest I am getting a little lost here and could do with someone checking my setup out and confirming whether things are working or not as I feel things should be much faster. Will follow this with WP login details in PM

    Cheers Andy

    Hi,

    I can’t see any obvious reasons why it is not working. It behave like if it was disabled no matter what.

    I’ve asked to Stiofan to have a look. He’ll let you know asap.

    Thanks

    This is showing in code at foot of all pages

    <!– GD Booster is NOT caching this page, because the PHP constant 

    DONOTCACHEPAGE

    has been set at runtime. Perhaps by WordPress itself, or by one of your themes/plugins. This usually means that you have a theme/plugin intentionally disabling the cache on this page; and it’s usually for a very good reason. –>

    Yes there was some problems with content being cached on the homepage when changing locations so this was added, i see it is running on all other pages.

    Thanks Stiofan can understand that. I guess I need to look at assets included on home page with a view to cutting some out and increasing page speed, doesn’t seem to bad to me but getting a bad Google store. Thanks for checking this out. Just one cheeky question , I know it’s on the wrong thread but any idea on launch date yet for latest events plugin ? Cheers Andy

    Hi Stiofan,

    Do you remember what these problems were?
    I’m looking to cache the home page to speed things up.

    Would it be possible to put a hook on line 100 of geodirectory.php so I can enable the cache without losing the setting on each update?

    Hi Dean,

    Do you just run one location? If not then you will just cause problems.
    We are looking at a solution to this but it might be a few weeks before it’s implemented fully.

    Thanks,

    Hi Stiofan,

    Yes I run multiple locations.
    Is it just the homepage it can cause problems or can caching /custom-post-type pages cause problems too?
    What are the problems you’ve seen?

    Thanks

    The problems arise from setting a location and then visiting the homepage, after that even if you change locations the hompage will be cached as the first location you visited, it’s a nghtmare but we will have a solution in a few weeks.
