Journal Caching System
Video Overview
The Journal Caching system will minify and cache your HTML, CSS and Javascript files as well as all Journal modules. It will process and store all assets in a folder called journal-cache that will be created in your root Opencart installation directory.
To access the Caching System go to Settings > System & Performance
To enable the caching mechanism make sure all switches are turned ON. On first page load this will create all necessary cache files and place them in the journal-cache folder.
Note that the page takes longer to load the first time you access it while the cache is being built. This only happens once on your end as everyone else will access the cached assets once they're created. So every time you clear the system cache revisit your site to regenerate the cache for your visitors.
Important Considerations
The first switch Caching System will enable / disable the entire system. Use this when you're working on your store and want to see all changes immediatelly. Alternatively, you can click the Clear Cache button to clear the system cache.
Make sure the journal-cache folder is present in your root Opencart directory and it is writable.
You must clear the Journal cache after you make edits to your store data (products, categories, brands, etc.) in order to see the changes.
