With Sitefinity CMS, you can configure how your pages are cached which affects and optimizes the overall performance of your system.

Not all the SmarterCommerce widgets support cache because of their dynamic nature. My Account, Order History, and Order Process are widgets that will not work with long cache.

The following widgets will obey and work on pages with long cache. These widgets have long cache support with getting status service for loading dynamic content across users, and cache dependency of mappings pages and override pages configured on the designer.

Widgets in the header section:

• Announcements

• Account Navigator (Top Navigation view)

• Login logout

• Floating Shopping Cart

• Floating Saved Cart

• Floating Quote Cart

• Floating Announcements

• Catalog Navigator (Top and Full with menu views)

• Sales Person Options

• Language Selector

• External Product Search

• Product Search Box

Widgets:  These widgets display content shared across users and have a dynamic content cache dependency to release page cache when detecting any changes in modules.

• Product Content (Full View and compact view)

• Catalog

• Store Locator

The pages with Sitefinity Long cache configuration must contain only the SmarterCommerce widgets mentioned above. If a SmarterCommerce widget is added that is not in the list, the page will work without cache.

The Sitefinity widgets will work with long cache pages, so these widgets can be in the pages that have the Sitefinity Long cache.

The Catalog, Store locator and Product Content pages won’t work with long cache. The pages must be configured with no cache option.

Note: Sitefinity creates a different cached version for each query string value. For more information: https://www.progress.com/documentation/sitefinity-cms/administration-configure-cache-profiles
