Clarification on Full Page Caching

Permalink
Hi

What criteria does "Full Page Caching" use when creating a cached version of the page?

Is it just the URL, or does it take into account other aspects like the logged in user so that each user gets their own cached version of the same page?

Thanks

I would think of Full Page Caching as a static public facing guest user accessible site. In it's current form, I would just say this to myself... "Could this page be replaced with an HTML page?". If so then it's a good candidate for full page caching.

As a side note to this, when Full Page Caching took this turn, block caching and our entire back end restructured to make a Block cached page(in many cases) as fast as you would have gotten with the old Full Page Caching.

Best Wishes,
Mike
