Q: Are there any technical risks when using a cache?
Hi Ahmed,
Thank you for this great tool and for launching it on AppSumo.
My main concern about maintaining SEO optimisations in case of a failure or pausing of your service was addressed today when you mentioned the option to download the JS and host it on my own server. I now have one more technical question. What about caching? Are there any technical risks when using a cache? I ask because ClickRank works like an overlay, and I don’t know how this behaves in the case of caching. Thank you in advance for clarifying this.
I also bought your other tool, Katteb, and hope to be able to buy ClickRank as well :-)

Thank you for your kind words and for trying out our tools!
ClickRank works by injecting optimizations dynamically. If your site is heavily cached, it might delay the application of these optimizations. To mitigate this, you can configure your caching settings to exclude the ClickRank JavaScript code or ensure that the cache is refreshed periodically.
Best Practices:
Exclude ClickRank JS from Caching as you can configure your caching plugin or server settings to exclude the ClickRank JavaScript code from being cached. This ensures that the latest optimizations are always applied.
Also apply regular cache refresh, If you cannot exclude the ClickRank JS, make sure to set up a regular cache refresh schedule to ensure that the optimizations are applied in a timely manner.
tidrosPLUSPerfect, thank you for the thorough answer!
2d5e39395476408a9f5fd02c1aa8c82bI’ve read in other comments about pausing or stopping the service means all optimisations are lost. In this question, the OP states they were told they can download a js file to host on their own server to keep the optimisations. You have not refuted this, so which is it? Do we get a file to keep the optimisations or do we not?
tidrosPLUSJust to be clear and to avoid any misunderstanding, I was not told directly that I would be able to download a JS file. However, I found this in Ahmed’s answer to another question on April 17th: "...We will email all of our users their JS optimization log file to host it on your own website so you can keep all your optimizations up and running." I think, it is fair enough and shows his good will.
