H5K Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 Hi guys, I'm using Cloudflare on our IPS community and I think it's impacting the view counts of articles and topics due to caching. If I understand correctly, it loads the page from our server then sends it out to multiple people. However, because it only loads it once and then sends it to multiple people, the view count only goes up by one for the article or topic. Is this correct? If so, is there any way to remedy it? Or perhaps remove view-counts altogether? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris027 Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 I just switched to Cloudflare. Is this an issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sovereign Grace Singles Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 I think Cloudflare's rail gun or extending caching to dynamic content (through page rules) can present such an issue. But by default Cloudflare only caches static content. I'm using OPcache and Memcached, plus Cloudflare, I wouldn't even know where to begin if caching became the issue. I take it "guest caching" in IPS' admin cp could also contribute to this issue. How often are view counters updated? Are they supposed to be updated instantly?

By any chance are you using redis? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
