Caching contact page

[stephenmeehanuk]

Hi,

I'm using half measure caching, and I've set

 'exclude' => [
        '/contact',
    ],

in config/statamic/static_caching.php

As expected, that excludes the whole page from the static cache, the form still works - but the page is noticeably slower than the other cached pages.

I've looked at the Cache Tag docs, but that seem to be more geared to picking parts of the page that should be cached. I want to do the opposite. Cache everything on the page, except the form.

Is there a way to do this?

I am not sure of the answer to your specific question, but have you looked at the Dynamic Token add-on that allows you to use caching with forms?

This looks good, thanks for sharing.

You want the upcoming no_cache tag, likely. But you can also surround the non-form stuff with the cache tag if you want.

It shouldn't be thaaaat slow though, what's causing the slow down?

Ah, no_cache tag sounds like just the ticket!

It's not rage click away slow, there's just a bit of a lag. Only noticeable really because Statamic does such a great job of caching the other pages - they load super fast.

I'll keep an eye out for any updates that might include the new no_cache tag.
