Introduction

Cache, Core Enhancements, Performance

CacheControl is an easy to use plugin where you can define on what pages and components caching should be turned off. This can help if you are using extensions that have trouble with the Joomla! cache.

The definitions are straight forward and simple. You just setup the url parameters for each rule and if they match, caching will be turned off for anything that is called with these parameters.

Quick Guide:

Example rules for com_content (each line is a separate rule that will fire upon match):

option=com_content

option=com_content&id=214

option=com_content&id=?

The first rule will prevent caching for the whole com_content extension, while the 2nd rule will prevent caching for a specific article. The 3rd rule will prevent caching for all article details (because of the ?).

Keep in mind that the above rules need to be written in parameter form, even if there is SEF enabled. This means you will need to know the parameters an extension accepts!

Joomla!caching: not a problem...

When calling modules in your articles, this plugin is a must.
Ease of use
Just read the rules description and that's it.
add "option=com_content&view=article&id=xxx" lines and your articles wont 'be cached anymore.
I used this to: Being a Joomla modules/extensions developer, it's a relief to have this plugin.

I use it on most of my websites.

Great support

Support

Essential for dynamic sites

If you have static and dynamic content, this plugin is your friend. Disable the cache only for specific URL's
Ease of use
Very easy to use, you only have to write the URL's (or part of them)
I used this to: Disable cache in Cart & Checkou process of J2store

Works for me

Functionality
Works like is should.
Ease of use
Easy to use once you know how to use it.
Documentation
Hardly any documentation. I learned that your global caching should be on, page caching off, Cache Control plugin enabled.
I used this to: I need caching especially for pages that pull in rss feeds. So I mine as well cache the whole site. However, I needed to prevent caching on a few pages that use pagination. Thanks for the plugin! I spent weeks working on a solution- tried JotCache but it does weird url appending.

Solved a problem in 5 minutes that I had been trying to fix for hours

Functionality
I wanted to turn off the cache for just one article (yes with a form!) It is not possible to accomplish this in Joomla.
Ease of use
Had it up and running in a few minutes and used the example given and changed the article id
Documentation
The instructions are at the top of this page in the description. Didn't check the website
I used this to: Turing off the cache for an article

Must have for certain components



Posted on 09 August 2015
Functionality
CacheControl did everything I needed it to do.
Ease of use
It was easy to set up and using the default script and adding the ID of the file/module I need to to controlworked perfectly.
Documentation
Very simple to use so the documentation manual is not very big.
I used this to: CacheControl is a must to manage the cache on certain files and modules. I use this to manage the cache of forms create by Web-Dorado's FormMaker. With this plugin everything works perfectly.

Brilliant - fixed chronoforms for me



Posted on 17 June 2014
Brilliant and very useful extension.



Very easy to install and use too - as Chris Maes says below, just enable it and add :

event=submit

and it fixes a long-term Chronoforms problem I was having.

Hope to use it to fix some other problems I was having with the cache.



Thanks a lot Crosstec guys.

Must-have when using certain form components!



Posted on 10 June 2014
For some reason my site was recently having issues with its forms (BreezingForms) and the problem was localized to when the internal Joomla cache was on or off. Luckily for me, I found CacheControl and was able to setup a rule to prevent Joomla from caching any BreezingForms-related content. Worked like a charm! Thank you.
