Cache-busting Google Chrome on Windows 8 and Android Devices
-
LOVE W3TC!! Been a part of our core install for years.
That said, we are trying to overcome what appears to be a caching issue on Google Chrome (Win 8 and Android Devices), and wondering if the experts (or anybody in the community) has any insights.
The issue is specific to Recent Posts not having the latest recent posts when a user opens Chrome on the specified platforms above, then enters our URL. Instead of seeing the latest version of Recent Posts, they see what appears to be the last version they saw, which could be days old. Refreshing the page fetches the latest.
We’ve tried clearing the server cache, disabling W3TC browser caching, forcing cache clearing on updates, revisions, edits, et cetera, installing Busted! (cache-buster) plugin, and various W3TC tweaks. It appears to be a browser-specific caching issue.
My questions are:
1) Has anyone else experienced this?
2) Is there a way to force the cache to clear on initial page load (sure, meta refresh works, if you want to do that to your users). I thought wpcron.php did this, but maybe W3TC overrides this.
3) Short of turning off W3TC on our highly trafficked site, the tweaks above should have demonstrated that it’s not W3TC.What say you, you fine community of WP awesomeness?
