Question about WooCommerce on WordPress with Nginx + FastCGI

Hello everyone,

I’m using Hestia Control Panel v1.9.4 on Ubuntu 22.04, with Nginx and FastCGI enabled. I installed the WordPress template provided by Hestia, but I have a few questions before moving forward:

  1. Does the Nginx WordPress template work properly with WooCommerce, or do additional adjustments need to be made?

  2. I’m currently noticing some issues related to caching and sessions:

    • The WooCommerce cart seems shared between users (apparently cached).

    • When logging into My Account, I can log in, but navigating to another page logs me out, requiring me to enter my credentials again.

If anyone has WooCommerce running with Nginx and FastCGI, could you share some advice on configuring it so that carts and user sessions are not affected by caching?

I really appreciate any help or example configuration you can share.

Thank you in advance!

Hi, I think you should use caching plugins, they have exceptions and are easier to add and configure. WC is very capricious software, but I do it well with plugins, and it’s better to disable server caching

Thanks for your reply. You don’t use FastCGI, do you? I switched from Apache to Nginx because of its advantages. Which plugin do you use in WooCommerce, if you don’t mind me asking? thank

I use Hestia Nginx Cache, but it clears the page only when you change it, and there are no settings for individual parts, do you use it? I.e. in this plugin there is no way to separate “necessary from not necessary”. In fact, the hestia template for WP has the ability to configure caching, but it is not dynamic as with Apache, but static. So you should try [this one] (WP-Optimize – Cache, Compress images, Minify & Clean database to boost page speed & performance — Плагин для WordPress | WordPress.org Русский), it has the option to exclude the trash, [or this one works with CF] (Super Page Cache — Плагин для WordPress | WordPress.org Русский) and incredibly fast, also allows you to make exceptions. So I used Redis, but now I switched to APCu Manager. Right now I don’t use WC, but there was a time when I used to use Hestia and these caching tools
