Hard disk caching is one of the fastest and most powerful caching systems.
When a page is visited, the reverse-proxy saves the content and objects (js, css, images) on its disk so that it can be delivered to users without having to query the backend server.
¶ Enable the cache feature.
By default, caching is not enabled globally in the reverse-proxy.
You need to activate it globally, and then activate it on sites that require caching.
- On the left menu, go to
“Web services" > “Status” - Click on “parameters" on the Inactive status under “Site Caching (Disk)" widget
- Enable the option “Enable Caching”
- Indicate the maximum cache size on your server in GB .
This size represents the total cache space available for all your websites. - Set the path on your server that will stores your cache.
- Note: With the latest Hotfix 20231111-02, it is possible to put the cache in memory
- The Widget is now turned to green
¶ Activate the cache on websites
Activating the cache functionality does not activate the cache on your sites.
You must activate the cache features on each website you consider important to cache.
- Go into the Web services section
- Under each website you'll see a gray "inactive" label in the cache column.
Click on the label to activate caching.
- The label will then turn green, indicating that your reverse-proxy is caching this site.
