Caching for member pages

Dear Wix Commiunity,

I was looking at how Wix allows developers to perform caching (About Page Caching) but I’m just wondering why pages accessed by logged-in members are not cached.

“All pages on your site are cached automatically, except for those accessed by logged-in members. If a visitor is logged into your site, any page they open isn’t cached and is always rendered from scratch. It’s not possible to enable caching for logged-in member sessions.”

This sounds very counter-intuitive to me…

Cheers!

When a visitor isn’t logged in, you can safely serve them a cached (static) version of a page, since generally, nothing on it is personalized or user-specific. In this case, caching is predictable.

Once someone logs in, though, the page often contains dynamic or personalized data - like their name, messages, account details, or custom content. It creates greater risk of showing stale data - hence rendering fresh each time.
