What is User-Agent Cache Bypass
The User-Agent Cache Bypass module allows specific user-agents to bypass Drupal's page caching system, always generating a fresh copy of the page.
Use Cases
- Setting a Googlebot user-agent will allow Google to always see fresh content no matter what. As an added bonus, by simply crawling your content, Google will be freshening up your page cache.
- Setting your minimum cache lifetime relatively high and regularly running a crawler using a custom user-agent, you can ensure that users always load a page from the cache and that the cache is always up-to-date.
- Use a browser plugin to modify your user-agent to always see fresh content on your site.
