How do I know if views are cached, when Im using the elementor views widgets? They load view admin ajax and take 6-10 seconds to load.

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

Toolset Block do not cache at backend. Toolset Block view uses the dynamic sources using which block view so it depends how many blocks you added within your view and there could possibly that number of requests to server:
- https://toolset.com/documentation/dynamic-sources-in-popular-blocks/#toolset

What if you try to increase memory for your backend: Add following line to your wp-config.php file.

define('WP_MAX_MEMORY_LIMIT','512M');

How do we cache views with the Elementor Tooslet Views Widget?

its not a resources issue. And its no guttenberg blocks!

Please acknowledge that the output for the view is only cached on the front end.

However- there is no option with Elementor view widget to control the caching.

So, the workaround would be you should try to add shortcode module or text module and add the view's shortcode:

[wpv-view name="your-view-slug" cached="off"]   /// turn off the view cache

[wpv-view name="your-view-slug"] /// by default cache is on

I've created the following sandbox site and you can auto-login to it using the following link:
- versteckter Link

I've created the block view on the following page that lists all book posts of post type Books:
- versteckter Link

I've created the following page:
- versteckter Link

The page content is set to use Elementor template and this is the Elementor template used:
- versteckter Link

On frontend I can see it does display five book posts - one per page:
- versteckter Link

But checking on view's listing page - I do not see the view is cached - it shows message "Not cached":
- versteckter Link

Theoretically - by default view output should be cached but it does not seems to be the case when using Elementor view widget as per the basic testing. Not sure if it cache the result after sometime or any other scenario.

How do views get told to purge and update their cache?
=====>
To purge the view cache - you should just go to view's listing page on your site:
- versteckter Link

and click on button "Clean Cache" available in the column "Frontend output cache". Please check the following screenshot: versteckter Link
