2. Example Log Entries:
Date Identified: January 12, 2025
Issue ID: CACH-001
Employee Responsible: John Doe
Caching Type Affected: Server-side Cache
Issue Description:
- Users reported slow loading times on the homepage, particularly when browsing ad categories. The issue was traced back to stale content being served from the server-side cache.
Steps Taken:
- Flushed the server-side cache on the main server.
- Identified a misconfiguration in the cache duration settings that caused content to remain outdated for longer than intended.
Tools Used:
- Redis cache management tool
- Google PageSpeed Insights for performance testing
Resolution:
- Reconfigured the Redis cache to ensure shorter expiration times for frequently changing data (e.g., ad listings).
- Configured cache purging to occur every 15 minutes, rather than every hour.
Improvement Measures:
- Implemented real-time cache invalidation for highly dynamic content such as newly posted ads.
- Created a monthly cache audit procedure to avoid future problems.
Impact on Site Speed:
- Page load times improved by 25%, based on PageSpeed Insights results before and after the fix.
Notes:
- Monitor the site over the next few weeks to ensure no further issues arise.
Date Identified: January 15, 2025
Issue ID: CACH-002
Employee Responsible: Jane Smith
Caching Type Affected: Content Delivery Network (CDN) Cache
Issue Description:
- Ads were not displaying correctly for users located outside the country due to CDN caching issues. The content was being served from a node that was not synchronized with the latest updates.
Steps Taken:
- Cleared the CDN cache and re-purged the edge servers.
- Verified CDN cache synchronization settings with the provider (Cloudflare) to ensure cache propagation is uniform.
Tools Used:
- Cloudflare CDN
- GTmetrix for testing
- Cache control headers
Resolution:
- Adjusted CDN settings to ensure that updated content is properly cached and propagated across all nodes.
- Set custom cache-control headers for static content like images and ads to avoid unnecessary cache retrieval.
Improvement Measures:
- Created an alert system to notify administrators when CDN cache propagation delays occur.
- Set up automatic cache purging on all edge servers for updated content every 10 minutes.
Impact on Site Speed:
- Users outside the country experienced a 40% reduction in load time for ad pages, based on GTmetrix testing.
Notes:
- Further testing of CDN settings will be required to ensure consistent performance across different geographical regions.
