FreshApp PrestaCache

Your store's performance directly impacts your conversion rate. FreshApp PrestaCache is a complete optimization solution combining full-page cache, catalogue warm-up, instant navigation, image optimization and measurement of the speed your visitors actually experience.

Features

• Configurable full-page cache: lifetime per page type, exclusions by URL, regular expression or module, separate cache per customer group
• Product list filters, sorting and pagination cached: faceted search answers instantly
• Module pages (blog, FAQ…) cached, with their own lifetime
• Instant navigation: the next page is prepared as soon as the visitor hovers a link, and shows instantly on click (Chrome, Edge, Opera)
• Logged-in customers and carts in progress served from the cache too: their personal blocks (name, cart, wishlist…) are filled in right after display, without ever mixing two customers’ data; your theme's personal blocks are detected automatically
• Automatic image optimization (WebP, AVIF, compression) and lazy loading; the main image of each page (product photo, first thumbnail) is loaded first
• Targeted purge on every change (product, category, price, stock…), with the pages concerned rebuilt right away in the background: your visitors never land on a slow page
• Measurement of your visitors' real experience (display speed, responsiveness, stability, response time), with and without the cache, with no cookie or personal data; built-in dashboard and diagnostics
• Test mode: check page by page what the cache does, and why a page is not cached
• Automatic purge of your Cloudflare or Bunny CDN
• Dynamic areas compatible with an ESI proxy (Varnish, Nginx ngx_http_esi_module), with automatic JS/AJAX fallback
• Compatible with PrestaShop 1.7.8 → 9.x

A catalogue already cached before your visitors arrive

After a change or a cache flush, a page is normally rebuilt only when a visitor asks for it, and that visitor is the one who waits. The warm-up does this work instead: it goes through your catalogue in the background, like a visitor, so every page is ready before the first real visit.

• Home page, categories, product pages, CMS pages and brands, in every active language
• Pages edited in the back office and the most visited ones come first
• Boost mode: one run every minute until the whole catalogue has been rebuilt, started with one click or automatically after every full cache flush
• A dedicated tab: scheduled task status, progress of the current pass, estimated duration, and a 30-day log of every run (pages already cached, cached, refused, in error)
• A single scheduled task to set to every minute; a call with nothing to do costs the server almost nothing
