WooCommerce Cache Mistakes (and how to fix them)

If your cart or checkout breaks after “speed optimizations”, it’s usually caching rules ignoring sessions, cookies, or dynamic pages.

What usually breaks

  • Cart not updating or stuck
  • Checkout resets or payment failures
  • Cached pages for logged-in users
  • Dynamic pricing not applied
  • My Account showing wrong data

Rule of thumb

If a page changes after login, add to cart, coupon, shipping, or currency change, it must NOT be cached.
