How to Exclude Specific Pages from W3 Total Cache

By 7 Comments

Exclude from Cache W3 Total Cache

If you need to exclude specific pages from being cached while using W3 Total Cache you simply add/register the pages.

 

w3-total-cache-menu-selection

  • goto Performance > Page Cache
  • scroll to Advanced > Never cache the following pages

 

You then add the entries as so:

/page-name/
/another-page-name/

exclude-from-cache-input-for-w3tc

 

It also supports regular expressions:

s3-total-cache-regular-expressions

That’s all you really need to do to skip caching and exclude individual pages from cache if you’re using W3 Total Cache.

    Thanks for your help, but i wonder how is posible to :
    Don’t cache the general /page/
    But I want to cache the subpages like for example
    /page/subpage1/
    /page/subpage2/
    …
    Is it Posible?

    Thanks

    I’m really struggling to find consensus on the correct syntax for entering pages into the ‘do not cache’ section. I have found many different posts that all lay the page and directory names out differently.

    should it be

    /page-name/
    /product-category/*

    or
    /page-name
    or
    page-name/

    i’m trying to exclude a couple of pages but also all of my products and product categories and it’s just not working for me. It seems each time i enter the above, the category then becomes inaccessible. I’m using woocommerce and the basic shop, account and cart pages are taken care of by the plugin, but i need to specify the above as i have a currency widget that works on location.

    Any help much appreciated.

    Thanks a ton m8! I was tired of trying various settings and was still not able to figure out how to disable cache for my random funny puns and jokes generator page. I could not find this information in W3 Total Cache’s FAQ also (or maybe I missed it). In any case, this article really helped me out. I love you for this. 😀

    Does this only work on a page or could I add a post to this list to stop it from getting cache?
