" no cache" Meta - 8/15/2002 10:27:20   
Okay, so here' s my problem.

I manage a site that gets updated weekly... usually three or four times a week, and I get a lot of people emailing me wanting to know why they can' t see all of the updated pages.

I tell them it' s cached and explain to them how to get rid of the " old" page and see the new...

My question is: If I place a no-cache meta in the page, what kind of problems will I run into?

Obviously images won' t be cached, right? So load speed is more of an issue.

Will the SE' s not index the page?

Will it prevent ISP' s from caching the page?

Just want a little clarification on this one before I decide to use it.

Thanks!

I' ve used a no-cache script for a while and hasn' t affected my SE ranking at all.

yes, load time was compromised but I guess it depends on your page size as to whether or not it would be affected a great deal.

Thanks Micah... I' m keeping graphics low, and the page is ASP - basically built from a database...

Sounds like this will do the trick.

Thanks again for the response!

<%
Response.AddHeader " cache-control" , " private"
Response.AddHeader " pragma" , " no-cache"
Response.ExpiresAbsolute = (Now() - 1)
Response.Expires = -1000
Response.CacheControl = " no-store"
%>

Any or all the above can help control caching.

Some disadvantages, if you click back on a cache-prevented db page, you' ll get a " page must be refreshed" message. If it' s a db page, the back button won' t preserve the user' s previously entered data.
