? Ultimate Cache Rules for wordpress Without Losing Google Ranking

Caching is one of the best ways to speed up your wordpress job portal. Faster sites = better user experience, higher engagement, and even better SEO. But misconfigured caching can hurt your Google rankings by serving outdated or wrong content.

In this guide, you’ll learn how to:

  • ✅ Speed up your wordpress site with caching

  • ❌ Avoid common SEO mistakes

  • ? Apply cache rules (Nginx, Cloudflare, etc.)

  • ? Stay Google-friendly

? What Is Caching and Why Use It in wordpress ?

Caching stores a temporary version of your web pages or static files (images, CSS, JS) so that they can be delivered faster to users without regenerating content from PHP/MySQL each time.

Benefits:

  • 10x faster page load

  • Reduced server load

  • Handles more users

  • Better scores in PageSpeed, GTmetrix, and Core Web Vitals

But improper caching = wrong content for wrong users = SEO disaster.

? Pages You Should NEVER Cache

wordpress is dynamic. You must exclude pages where content is user-specific or changes frequently, like:

URL Pattern Reason
/index.php?page=login User login page
/index.php?page=register Registration form
/index.php?page=user* User dashboards
/index.php?page=post Job posting form
/index.php?page=item&action=contact Contact employer
/oc-admin/* Admin dashboard (critical!)

These pages use cookies/sessions. Caching them can break the login system or serve another user’s data by mistake!

✅ Pages You SHOULD Cache (Safe & Recommended)

These can be safely cached and will improve speed without affecting SEO or functionality:

URL Pattern Description
/ (homepage) Static page
/index.php?page=search Category/search pages
/index.php?page=item&id=* Individual job listings
Static files: .css, .js, .jpg, etc. Assets can be cached for 1 year

⚙️ NGINX Cache Configuration for Osclass

If your server uses Nginx (especially via cPanel or Lightsail), here’s a basic config:

nginx
proxy_cache_path /var/cache/nginx/osclass levels=1:2 keys_zone=osclass_cache:10m inactive=60m use_temp_path=off; map $request_uri $no_cache_uri { default 0; ~*/oc-admin/* 1; ~*/index.php?page=login 1; ~*/index.php?page=register 1; ~*/index.php?page=post 1; ~*/index.php?page=user 1; } server { location / { proxy_cache osclass_cache; proxy_cache_valid 200 301 302 60m; proxy_cache_bypass $no_cache_uri; proxy_no_cache $no_cache_uri; proxy_ignore_headers Cache-Control Expires Set-Cookie; proxy_cache_use_stale error timeout updating; add_header X-Cache $upstream_cache_status; } location ~* \.(jpg|jpeg|png|gif|css|js|ico|webp)$ { expires 365d; add_header Cache-Control "public, max-age=31536000, immutable"; } }

✅ Tip: Always test with curl -I URL to confirm headers like X-Cache: HIT or MISS.

☁️ Cloudflare Cache Rules for wordpress 

Cloudflare is great for CDN + cache combo. Use Page Rules or Cache Rules like this:

1. Bypass Cache (for sensitive pages)

If URL matches *.co.in/index.php?page=login* Then: Cache Level = Bypass

Repeat for:

  • register

  • post

  • user

  • oc-admin

2. Cache Everything (safe pages)

mathematica
 
If URL matches *callcenterjob.co.in/index.php?page=item&id=* Then: Cache Level = Cache Everything + Edge TTL: 1 hour

✅ Enable "Respect Existing Headers" for accurate caching based on your Nginx rules.

⚠️ SEO Best Practices While Using Cache

  1. Avoid caching any page that sets cookies like login/post.

  2. Don’t serve outdated job posts – use TTLs like 30–60 minutes max for job detail pages.

  3. Use Vary: Cookie header where required.

  4. Use canonical URLs to prevent duplicate indexing due to URL parameters (e.g., fbclid, utm_source).

  5. Verify cache rules with Google Search Console → Coverage → Excluded → Look for weird cache behavior.

? How to Check If Caching Works
