Question about WSA

How does this come into play with Donncha’s super cache plugin? Just wondering if with static pages, that will throw off if ads will show when they’re not supposed to.

    I assumed that. I can think of ways of doing it with javascript but not with php really.

    Well one way with php although it would mean having the php processor churn through every file. That’s what I’m having to do on my blog to get the random image to show up within the sidebar. I don’t mind that for a couple thousand hits a day but it would defeat the purpose of static files if I had to do it like that.

    Yeah, about the only way to do it is with javascript. Although I wonder how that affects caching as well.

    I mean, wouldn’t what is written back to the browser be cached as well? I’ll admit it isn’t something I’ve looked into much yet myself.

    Although IIRC, it’s just the compiled page that’s cached, which would be before anything is written back to the browser.

    I’d have to dig for it. I read about it on one of those “Why wp is ditching object cache” pages. I don’t remember a link though.

    Do I have access to memcache on your server, Andrew? If I do, there’s a plugin for MT that will shorten rebuild time for me.

    Only sites (Edublogs, etc) on our Cluster will have access to memcached servers. We’ve actually had issues when more than one WPMU site uses the same memcached server so most likely we’ll be assigning a separate memcached server for each site.

    Thanks,
