Installation
Requirements
Section titled “Requirements”- CS-Cart or Multi-Vendor 4.17.2 – 4.21.x, PHP 7.4 to 8.3.
- PHP zlib extension, OPcache recommended.
- A writable
var/folder with room for the disk limit you choose (512 MB by default, usually far less is used).
Install
Section titled “Install”- Go to Add-ons > Manage add-ons and upload
kv_full_page_cache-1.0.0.zip. - Open any admin page once. The add-on finishes its setup on this first admin page view and starts working after it.
- Open Website > Full Page Cache and check that the status says Cache is on.
There is nothing else to configure, and no file of the store is changed.
Check that it works
Section titled “Check that it works”- Open a category page in a private browser window, with the developer tools open on the Network tab.
- Reload it. The page’s response header
X-Kv-Fpcchanges fromMISStoHIT. - On a server cron job, add the nightly warmer (see Usage).
If the core Full page cache add-on is active
Section titled “If the core Full page cache add-on is active”On CS-Cart 4.21 plans that include it, the core add-on runs on Varnish. The two must not run at once: while the core add-on is active, Full Page Cache Pro stays off and the admin page tells you so.
Upgrade
Section titled “Upgrade”Upload the new version over the installed one. The add-on updates its tables and settings by itself on the next admin page, keeps its settings and drops the stored pages. See also the changelog.
Uninstall
Section titled “Uninstall”Add-ons > Manage add-ons > Uninstall removes the tables, settings, language variables and the folder
var/kv_full_page_cache with every stored page. The store is left as it was.
License
Section titled “License”Enter your key in the license card at the top of the add-on page, or in the License tab. The check runs in the admin panel once a day and has no effect on the storefront.
