Is it possible to serve a cached or static version of the site to not logged in users?

Question

Is it possible to schedule a cache or static site generation and serve that to not logged in users?

Comments

Possible? Yes. Worthwhile? Most likely not. What problem are you trying to solve by doing that?

---

Reduce load on the server generated by users not logged in.

Install and configure memcached. See https://www.question2answer.org/qa/71050

The `memcached` option I am aware, but I don't care to refresh the cache except maybe once a day or something. My experience with `memchached` is it will refresh the cache every time something is changed, as @Zeeshan is addressing with the linked GitHub project.

It have some problem

It really needs an issues section. At the very least, users can resolve issues within the issue, even if the code is never officially updated.

Answer 3

Yes, it is possible if your site is hosted on a server using litespeed(or LSCache). Enable LSCache and then configure the Htaccess file as below.

<IfModule LiteSpeed>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} ^HEAD|GET$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !admin|question|login|user|ask|categories|feed [NC]
#If there is no login
RewriteCond %{HTTP_COOKIE} !qa_session
RewriteCond %{ORG_REQ_URI} !^/$
RewriteRule .* - [E=Cache-Control:max-age=86400]
</IfModule>

Ah, thank you. That eventually lead me to the OpenLiteSpeed vs LiteSpeed page, and it looks like the Open version doesn't support htaccess, though there is a free license for <2GB servers and one domain. While not ideal, I could make it work in this case.

Openlitespeed version supports htaccess. I used Openlitespeed + cyberpanel on the server before. You can make htaccess changes via cyberpanel.

If we sort it as a performance(for q2a);
apache <Openlitespeed <litespeed

Will this work if I am using two different versions of webpage for mobile and desktop ?

---

If you want, you can only cache for mobile.
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} "iPhone|iPod|BlackBerry|Palm|Mobile|Opera Mini|Fennec|Windows Phone"

I don't know how to do it separately for both.
