How to disable Ecenica TurboCacher Advanced Caching

What is Ecenica TurboCacher

Ecenica TurboCacher is our advanced web site optimisation solution which improves the performance and speed of your website by caching dynamic and static files in system memory. This reduces the load on your site meaning it can handle spikes in visitor traffic and improve page loading times.

How to disable Ecenica TurboCacher

When your account is created, we enable Ecenica TurboCacher by default.

If you need to disable Ecenica TurboCacher you can do so by adding a rule to your site’s .htaccess file.

You have the option of disabling the dynamic cache only or disabling both dynamic and static cache for your account.

  1. Log in to cPanel.
  2. Open File Manager.
  3. Locate the .htaccess file in your ‘Home Directory’. If you can’t see an .htaccess file, check File Manager is setup to show hidden files. Click the Settings button in the top right and select ‘Show Hidden Files’. Click Save.
  4. Download the .htaccess file to your device so you have a copy just in case.
  5. Select .htaccess and click Code Editor from the top menu.
  6. Copy and paste the below code into your file.
    # ----------------------------------------------------------------------
    # | Disable Ecenica TurboCacher                                             |
    # ----------------------------------------------------------------------
    # 
    ## Disables Ecenica TurboCacher (Dynamic) only
    # Header set shcache dynamic
    
    ## Disables Ecenica TurboCacher (Dynamic + Static)
    # Header set shcache both
    
    
  7. Uncomment one of Header set shcache dynamic or Header set shcache both depending on which option you’d prefer.
  8. Click Save Changes
  9. Click Close

You can also complete the above steps using your FTP Client.
