This page explains how caching plugins interact with Aimogen and how to configure them safely. Caching is essential for frontend performance, but it can easily break AI-driven features if applied without discrimination. Aimogen is dynamic by design. Treating it like static content is the fastest way to create subtle, hard-to-debug failures.
The goal is not to disable caching. The goal is to scope it correctly.
Why Caching Can Break Aimogen #
Caching plugins are built to assume that most output does not change per request. Aimogen works on the opposite assumption. It generates content, responds to users, schedules background work, and relies on real-time execution paths.
Problems arise when caching plugins intercept, delay, or rewrite requests that Aimogen expects to execute immediately. This often happens silently. From the UI, it looks like Aimogen “does nothing” or behaves inconsistently.
When caching breaks Aimogen, it rarely fails loudly.
Page Caching vs Dynamic Execution #
Page caching is generally safe for public-facing content pages, but it must never interfere with Aimogen’s dynamic endpoints.
Aimogen admin screens, REST endpoints, AJAX actions, chatbot loaders, and background callbacks must always bypass page cache. If they are cached, delayed, or served stale, execution logic breaks.
A common symptom is that something works once and then never again. That is almost always cached dynamic output.
JavaScript Optimization Is the Most Common Failure Point #
Modern caching plugins aggressively optimize JavaScript. They minify, defer, delay, combine, and sometimes reorder scripts.
Aimogen relies on JavaScript that must load at the correct time and execute in a specific order. If its scripts are deferred too late, delayed until interaction, or combined incorrectly, chatbots may never initialize and UI elements may never appear.
When Aimogen features disappear from the frontend without errors, JavaScript optimization is the first thing to suspect.
REST API and AJAX Must Never Be Cached #
Aimogen communicates heavily through WordPress’ REST API and AJAX endpoints. These are live execution paths, not content.
If a caching plugin caches REST responses, blocks them, or rewrites headers, Aimogen may receive empty or stale data. Generation may silently fail or appear to “complete” without output.
REST and AJAX routes used by Aimogen must always be excluded from caching, optimization, and security inspection layers.
Logged-In vs Logged-Out Behavior Can Be Misleading #
Many caching plugins behave differently depending on user state.
Admins often bypass cache entirely. Visitors do not. This creates the illusion that Aimogen works when you test it, but fails for real users.
If chatbots, widgets, or frontend AI features only fail when logged out, caching is almost certainly involved.
Always test Aimogen features in an incognito window.
Object Caching and Database Caching #
Object caching is usually safe, but it can cause issues if cached values are not invalidated correctly.
Aimogen stores configuration, state, and execution flags that change frequently. If these values are cached too aggressively, the system may believe something already ran, is paused, or is blocked when it isn’t.
If Aimogen appears stuck in a previous state, object caching is a likely contributor.
CDN Caching Adds Another Layer of Risk #
Content Delivery Networks often cache aggressively at the edge.
If Aimogen scripts or chatbot assets are cached incorrectly at the CDN level, fixes on the origin server may not propagate immediately. This makes troubleshooting confusing, because changes appear to have no effect.
Dynamic endpoints, chatbot loaders, and inline scripts must be excluded from CDN caching just as strictly as from local caching.
Safe Caching Strategy for Aimogen #
A stable setup follows a simple rule: cache what users read, never cache what Aimogen executes.
Static pages, published posts, and media can be cached freely. Anything that generates, decides, schedules, responds, or communicates with external APIs must bypass caching completely.
When this boundary is respected, caching and Aimogen coexist without friction.
How to Confirm Caching Is the Problem #
The fastest diagnostic step is temporary deactivation.
Disable the caching plugin, clear all caches, and test Aimogen again. If the problem disappears immediately, caching is involved. Re-enable the plugin and add exclusions incrementally until Aimogen works again.
Do not guess. Caching issues are binary and obvious when isolated properly.
Final Perspective #
Caching plugins are powerful and necessary, but they are blunt instruments.
Aimogen requires a hosting environment and caching configuration that understands the difference between static content and live systems. When everything is cached indiscriminately, automation becomes unpredictable. When caching is scoped correctly, Aimogen runs quietly in the background and frontend performance improves at the same time.
Caching is not the enemy. Unbounded caching is.
