CacheExtender 0.5: More Control Over How Evolution CMS Caches Pages

CacheExtender was interesting because it addressed a real pain point: default caching rules were not always flexible enough for complex Evo sites.

The old note around CacheExtender 0.5 was brief, but the problem it targeted was important: Evolution CMS projects often needed more selective control over what should be cached, when, and under which conditions.

Why that mattered

  • some pages were mostly static but had small dynamic fragments
  • some listing pages needed cache exceptions based on parameters
  • teams needed performance without giving up predictable rendering

Tools like CacheExtender became part of the Evo ecosystem because they let projects keep the speed benefits of static caching while still adapting to real-world dynamic behavior.
