Get Control Over Your Cache with Rules and Cache Actions

Track: 
Implementation and Config
Experience: 
Advanced

All sites with more than modest traffic needs caching. However, time based caching poses problems – too long caching times causes content to become stale, too short caching times means heavy loads on the server.

With Cache Actions and Rules you can empty selected cache bins in Panels, Views and Varnish when relevant events take place. Invalidate your cache when stuff happens and your site will respond immediately to new changes. This session is about how you can set this up on your site and how much caching actually matters for the responsiveness of your site.

Intended audience: 

Performance optimizers, general Drupal developers, coders
