Need to know how to leverage Browser Caching

Hi SplashDeveloper!

I'm afraid not to my knowledge within BC however I'll keep this thread/conversation open to the community to discuss if there are any possible suggestions. 

Past thread reference: - http://www.businesscatalyst.com/ForumRetrieve.aspx?TopicID=19856

Kind regards,

If you're browser isn't caching your site that's a browser problem. All sites are cachable on BC. Here's an example of businesscatalyst.com:

You can see there that 90% of assets came from browser cache.

If your site isn't loading fast enough please supply the URL and we'll investigate this for you.

I think I've lost you there... Are you referring to change frequency setting in the sitemap.xml by any chance? An example of it would be this http://joidesign.com/sitemap.xml. Every site on BC has one that's generated automatically for you. For most assets BC sets it to Daily. e.g <changefreq>daily</changefreq>

Is that it?

Hi Mario,

Can we use the sitemap.xml to also cache images?

Hi Ramo,

Browser will cache images out of the box. There's no way to utilise sitemap.xml for that purpose.

Thanks Mario,

But it does not look like this is happening on our site (www.spitz.co.za)  When we run the Google webtools, it says the speed of the site can be increased by using browser caching.

Please can you advise?

A lot of people miss read the general info from google on this. They will always tell you the same things even if it is optimized to hell. Guidelines and advise for the most part

Hello,

I am having the same issue with caching as well as other web issues according to google's PageSpeed Insights:

• Leverage browser caching

• Optimize images

• Eliminate render-blocking JavaScript and CSS in above-the-fold content

My site is www.signgeek.com. This is the link showing my PageSpeed results. https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/?hl=en&utm_source=wmx&utm_campaign= wmx_otherlinks&url=http%3A%2F%…

My site is published through BC. The domain named was purchased through GoDaddy.

I understand that I may need to re-size some of my pngs for the "Optimize images" issue. However, how do I resolve these other issues?

Thanks,

Anna
