Cornerstone/Pro sets DONOTCACHEPAGE on public WooCommerce product pages (causing Cache-Control: no-store/private)

[fxground]

I’m seeing public WooCommerce product pages being served with WordPress no-cache headers:

• Cache-Control: no-cache, must-revalidate, max-age=0, no-store, private
• Expires: Wed, 11 Jan 1984 05:00:00 GMT

This happens at origin (not Cloudflare). Here’s the proof from the server (secure note)

Question: Why are these Cornerstone hooks firing on public WooCommerce product pages, and is there a supported setting/filter to prevent Cornerstone from setting DONOTCACHEPAGE on normal front-end requests (while still keeping the builder/preview un-cached)?

If there’s a recommended way to allow caching for logged-out visitors on product pages, please share the official approach.

Thanks!

Hey @fxground,

Please try adding the following code in your child theme’s functions.php.

add_action('init', function() {
  if (!is_admin() && !defined('CS_APP') && !did_action('cs_preview_frame_load')) {
    remove_action('cornerstone_before_boot_app', 'cs_disable_caching_for_app');
    remove_action('cornerstone_before_custom_endpoint', 'cs_disable_caching_for_app');
  }
}, 1);

Please note that it’s just a workaround or a test if it’ll work. If it resolves the issue you’re having, we’ll list this as an improvement to be done.

Thanks.
