Use with Bad Behavior?

  • Hi there,

    my host strongly advises using a caching plugin when using WordPress, their favorite being Hyper Cache. I’m also using Bad Behavior, though, to keep bad bots out, and it’s really doing its job of deflecting spamming and hacking attempts very reliably.

    Bad Behavior injects a Javascript snippet containing a user’s IP address into the page when forms are present, however, which Hyper Cache faithfully caches, of course, probably defeating Bad Behavior’s purpose. In this light, I suppose that it’s either Bad Behavior or Hyper Cache then? Does anyone have any experience using both plugins together?

  • Just exclude all pages you don’t want to be cached. With forms for example.

    That bit of Javascript is in fact inserted into all pages of a website that WordPress generates.

    I know that WP Super Cache support Bad behavior via a plugin.

    I use Bad Behavior + Hyper Cache, previously I used Bad Behavior + W3 Total Cache. So far, both combinations never give me any issue.

    I’m not very tech-savvy. I don’t alter much their default settings.

    Hyper Cache caches a whole page, while the behavior of Bad Behavior seems to create a specific page (since the content is different) for each visitor.

    The two are not compatibile: the cached page is identical for all the users. wp super cache uses a two phase cache, is enabled, where all the plugin are activated and can “do things”. But that means to invalidate most of the caching effect.
