Storefront Caching
Storefront Caching
Available Caches
In addition to the core application data caches, the storefront uses the following caches to improve performance. For information on monitoring these caches, see Monitoring Ehcache.
| Cache Name | Objects cached | Default TTL (seconds) | Configuration location |
|---|---|---|---|
| commonWebDomainCache | Domain to store code mapping | 300 | ep-core: simple-timeout-caches.xml |
| commonWebStoreCodeCache | Store codes | 300 | ep-core: simple-timeout-caches.xml |
| productAssociationCache | Product associations | 600 | ep-storefront: cache.xml |
| ruleEngineDataCache | Promotion rules | 10 | ep-storefront: cache.xml |
| sellingContextDataCache | Selling context data | 600 | ep-storefront: cache.xml |
| shippingServiceLevelCache | Shipping service levels | 600 | ep-storefront: cache.xml |
| storeCache | Stores | 10 | ep-storefront: cache.xml |
| storefrontTopCategoryCache | Catagories in navigation bar | 30 | ep-core: simple-timeout-caches.xml |
Configuring Storefront Caches
All caches can be configured using Ehcache configuration files as described by Configuring Ehcache.
Invalidating the Velocity Cache
When you make changes to the storefront's properties or velocity templates, you sometimes need to clear the storefront's cache for the change to take effect. To invalidate the cache, open your store in a web browser and append /invalidate-cache.ep to your storefront URL.
For example, if your storefront URL is demo.elasticpath.com:8080/storefront, you can invalidate your cache by opening demo.elasticpath.com:8080/storefront /invalidate-cache.ep in a web browser.
