View Full Version : Cache as site pref

I switch my cache settings back and forth. Sometimes I'm happy with it caching (when I'm surfing) and sometimes I want no cache (when I'm working.) Suddenly it struck me (no, didn't hurt,) that it would be sweet to have the cache setting work as a site pref.

Maybe even a setting like "never cache this site." No clue how much work this would be, but it would certainly come in handy for me.

YES! YES!

Two "yes" votes because ...

1. When I'm developing a site, the cached copy of my local site or the uploaded site is often obsolete.

2. It takes care of my dislike for 5.5 snapshots of highly volatile sites.

In both cases, I'm currently wearing out my Refresh button.

Yes, I'd like to see something like this too; basically you're asking for the History:Validate cached content preference option (which controls the 'aggressiveness' of caching) to be available on the Site Preferences panel, and for there to be an new option in that menu, for 'Never'.

Obviously this would be useful for developers, and generally for news sites etc.
