Tell us what you are trying to do?
Hello, we have a very bad pagespeed that changes on every new test, we have a very fast Server and could not find a solution.
I was very happy that there is a improved caching function released this year.
Unfortunately i wan't able to enable caching for all Views we are using. We did no modifacation to the shortcodes but in the backend, views shows a "clear cache" Button on one view but on all other views it says "Not cached" (see screenshot).
This also did not change when we modified the shortcode to contain cached="on".
Can you help me out and tell me, how to enable caching for all views?

Is there any documentation that you are following?

Is there a similar example that we can see?

Hi,

Thank you for contacting us and I'd be happy to assist.

The way built-in cache feature works for view, you can force it in two ways:

a). In a view created using the Blocks editor, you'll find a "Cache View" option under the main "View" block's settings.
( screenshot: hidden link )

b). For a view created using the classic views editor, you can force cache through cached="force" attribute in the views shortcode.

Example:

[wpv-view name="slug-of-view" cached="force"]

It is important to note however that there are certain conditions, which will force the view to not use the cached version, for example:

- if the view is using front-end sorting controls
- If the view contains a query filter that listens to the URL parameter
- if the view contains a nested view or a content template
- if the view is set to show posts in a random order
- if the view contains the "conditional" block

Tip: When working to optimize the page loading times, the focus should be on improving the loading of static content like images, CSS and script files, etc. Using an aggressive cache for dynamic data like list of posts created using views can result in out-dated or changed data showing unexpectedly and for longer than desired.

I hope this information helps and please let me know if you need any further assistance around this.
