Does the Browser reload the page automatically when it detects changes?

  • I did a test and it looks like the plugin is not delivering as promised

    See:

    01 – No woocomerce I created 2 products with the word “burger” in the title.
    02 – I did a search and the result was the two “burger” products, as expected.
    03 – I then registered a third product containing the word “burger” and published it.
    04 – Returning to the site, I made a new search, and only the first 2 products were being returned.
    05 – Only after refreshing the page did the third product appear in the search results.

    ––

    01 – Continuing the tests, I clicked on the product page, and opened it so that I could view the product description.
    02 – So I updated the description, and saved the changes.
    03 – I clicked on the logo to go to the home page, did a search again for the term “burger” and the product was displayed, but without changing the description. (It was clear that search results are not updated by your plugin).
    04 – Then I clicked on the product displayed in the search results. and also the description displayed there is still the browser cache.
    05 – Again, only after executing a refresh in the browser, the changes were displayed. and I could see the updated description.

    Anyway, your plugin is not doing anything that WordPress hasn’t done before.

    The browser uses the local cache, and only updates after refreshing the page.

    If you can explain to me what may be happening I am grateful, because I did not notice any changes after activating the plugin.

    Thankful.

    Hi,

    Thank you for the detail explanation on what you’re experiencing. However, this plugin does not claim to clear the cache for WooCommerce products or search. This plugin will only clear the cache if you change the settings in WooCommerce. The products cache is already cleared by your caching system.

    Additionally, this plugin does not clear cache on its own nor does it clear browser cache. This plugin clears the cache from the caching plugins found on the the description page (Autoptimize, Breeze Cache, GoDaddy Cache, etc). If you’re not using any of those caching plugins, this plugin won’t do much of anything.

    Sorry for the misunderstanding. I’ll try to make the description clearer.
