What is Edge Side Includes (ESI)?

[@nonsense3791]

How can I use esi in the blade template in my Laravel project? Is this possible?

[@litespeedtechnologies]

In general, this should be possible. However, this wouldn't be LiteSpeed specific but based on how Laravel states it.

Does it make sense to use ESI for a short code that returns products. We sell products that change in price and many new edits every 3 hours or so. Our transients handle the data from the api and we would like to use ESI for this purpose.

[@litespeedtechnologies]

Technically it would be possible. However, if the product information is the same for every user and the product fills the entire page, you might want to consider simply purging the products on change.

HI, I tested the implementation of ESI and oddly enough it puts a white bar in my header where the WP admin bar was (when logged in). When not logged in everything is fine. Is this common? Should i be able to see the WP admin as before?

[@litespeedtechnologies]

It sounds like ESI is not enabled on the server. Please open a ticket with us by emailing [e-mail]. You'll most likely need access to server level configs.

You can find an entire post about ESI for Widgets here: blog.litespeedtech.com/2017/09/06/wpw-esi-and-litespeed-cache/ and for shortcodes here: blog.litespeedtech.com/2018/12/12/wordpress-shortcodes-esi-blocks/

Hi, I am willing to learn Akamai ESI concepts. Can you help here

[@litespeedtechnologies]

What do you mean by Akamai ESI? ESI is a general HTTP concept.
