Notes caching doesn’t work

  • First and foremost, thank you Katie for this great plugin!

    We’re using it successfully and it has seamlessly incorporated Zotero into our site.

    However, we’ve encountered a recent issue with caching and CPU/RAM exhaustion, which in turn makes our site unresponsive:

    • Notes are currently not cached
    • Every entry with notes requests an update on every page visit
    • This, in return, exhausts our server resources within minutes and causes long page loading times

    I converted the Zotpress cache table into readable JSON to see if any notes were being cached and there were none. Additionally, I tried different approaches to incorporate notes caching into the logic, all without success.

    It would be great if you could incorporate the notes into the caching mechanism or clarify if this issue is most likely caused by our setup! I disabled the whole updating logic which tremendously improved the page loading times. Cache was used but no notes appeared.

    Thank you so much!

    Don’t know if this will ever be sorted out but for the ones having the same problem of crazy CPU and Ram spikes because of Zotero and caching issues:

    Solved it via Cloudflare worker. The worker caches the Zotero response and prevents the request going through from Zotpress.

    This made our site usable again and the page load instantaneous, otherwise this plugin would crash our site through ram exhaustion because caching doesn’t work. And in general, the load times with Zotero requests are sadly not acceptable…

    Hi @chubchub87 Does this only happen with notes on? I’ll take a look for the next update.
