Content No Cache | Serve uncached partial content even when you add it to a page that is fully cached. vs Delete Expired Transients

Normally, if a web page is served by the cache, its content will be always the same until the cache is deleted. By adding the content with the shortcode provided by Content No Cache, you will be able to show dynamic content even on pages served by cache. You don’t need this plugin to exclude the entire page from the cache. This plugin is to exclude a part of the page from the cache. It’s useful if you need to cache a page, but part of that page should not be cached. Imagine you have a page that has this content: Hello this is some text. Another line of text Another line of text Current day: Monday if that page is served by cache, the user will always see: Hello this is some text. Another line of text Another line of text Current day: Monday If you need that the last line of text is always updated, this plugin will help you. The entire page will be served by the cache, but the plugin will get the updated content that you need. How to show dynamic content with full page cache Install Content No Cache Create a new element “Content No Cache” Add to that element all the content that you want to exclude from the cache Copy the shortcode that you will see in the section “Shortcode”. It will look like [content_no_cache id=”3328″]. The parameter “id” is the ID of the content element (in this example 3328). Add the shortcode to the page where you want to display that content.

The few lines of code will run only where you add the shortcode. No jQuery, no JS libraries, only a couple of lines of pure JavaScript No database queries, no extra HTTP requests for external assets, no bloat With a few line of ultralight code you can fully cache the page even if you need dynamic content on that page It provides a shortcode, so you can add it everywhere, no matter the builder Tips to speed up the process to get the content Install Freesoul Deactivate Plugins Go to Freesoul Deactivate Plugins => Actions => Content No Cache Disable all the plugins that you don’t need to output the content Example You can see Content No Cache in action visiting the blog post Exclude specific content from being cached. You will see a number that is always different when you refresh the page. But the page is served by full page cache. In the example it’s just a number, but you can output whatever content you want. Possible conflicts Some plugins don’t load the shortcodes during ajax requests. Because Content No Cache retrieves the content through ajax, in those cases the content will not be displayed properly. If you have this kind of issue set the parameter request=”remote”. In this case the shortcode will look like [content_no_cache id=”3328″ request=”remote”] The plugin will retrieve the content in a different way that will be a little slower, but this will solve this kind of conflict.

Delete old, expired transients from the WordPress options table (wp_options), to prevent them from bloating your database and even slowing down your website. Unless you are using an object cache (like memcached), WordPress stores transient records in the options table. Many transients are given an expiration time, so in theory they should disappear after some time. In practise, because old transients are only deleted when requested again after they’ve expired, many transients stay in the database. After a while, there can be thousands or even millions of expired transients needlessly taking up space in your options table, depending on what your plugins are doing. Delete Expired Transients schedules a daily task to delete any expired transients from the options table. It performs this operation with a single SQL query, and then runs a second query to find any orphaned expiration records and deletes them too. There are a few other plugins around that clean up expired transients. This one is written for fast performance, set-and-forget scheduled housekeeping, and maximum compatibility. It uses the PHP time to determine whether transients are expired, not the database time (which can be different). It does only one job, and it does it well with the minimum of resources.
