Chapter 13:  Designing and Optimizing a ColdFusion Application

•

The directory on the server in which to store the cached pages. The default directory is 

cf_root

/

cache. It is a good practice to create a separate cache directory for each application. Doing so 
can prevent the 

cfcache

 tag 

flush

 action from inappropriately flushing more than one 

application’s caches at a time.

•

The time span indicating how long the page lasts in the cache from when it is stored until it is 
automatically flushed.

You can also specify several attributes for accessing a cached page on the web server, including a 
user name and password (if required by the web server), the port, and the protocol (HTTP or 
HTTPS) to use to access the page.

Place the 

cfcache

 tag above any code on your page that generates output, typically at the top of 

the page body. For example, the following tag tells ColdFusion to cache the page on both the 
client and the server. On the server, the page is cached in the e:/temp/page_cache directory. 
ColdFusion retains the cached page for one day.

<cfcache timespan="#CreateTimespan(1, 0, 0, 0)#" directory="e:/temp/

page_cache">

Caution: 

If your Application.cfm page displays text; for example, if it includes a header page, use the 

cfcache

 tag on the Application.cfm page in addition to the pages that you cache. Otherwise, 

ColdFusion displays the Application.cfm page output twice on each cached page.

Flushing cached pages

ColdFusion automatically flushes any cached page if you change the code on the page. It also 
automatically flushes pages after the expiration timespan passes.

You can use the 

cfcache

 tag with the 

action="flush"

 attribute to immediately flush one or 

more cached pages. You can optionally specify the directory that contains the cached pages to be 
flushed and a URL pattern that identifies the pages to flush. If you do not specify a URL pattern, 
all pages in the directory are flushed. The URL pattern can include asterisk (*) wildcards to 
specify parts of the URL that can vary.

When you use the 

cfcache

 tag to flush cached pages, ColdFusion deletes the pages cached on the 

server. If a flushed page is cached on the client system, it is deleted, and a new copy gets cached, 
the next time the client tries to access the ColdFusion page.

The following example flushes all the pages in the e:/temp/page_cache/monthly directory that 
start with HR:

<cfcache action="flush" directory="e:/temp/page_cache/monthly" expirURL="HR*">

If you have a ColdFusion page that updates data you use in cached pages, the page that does the 
updating includes a 

cfcache

 tag that flushes all pages that use the data.

For more information on the 

cfcache

 tag, see 

CFML Reference

.

Caching parts of ColdFusion pages

In some cases, your ColdFusion page might contain a combination of dynamic information that 
ColdFusion must generate each time it displays the page, and parts it generates dynamically, but 
that change less frequently. In this case, you cannot use the 

cfcache

 tag to cache the entire page. 

Instead, use the 

cfsavecontent

 tag to cache the infrequently changed content.
