Speedy Cache

Appearance

Newsletter Form in a Cached Footer ​

Pages that show a Formie form aren’t cached, because Formie keeps each visitor’s progress and messages on the server. With a sign-up form in the footer, that would mean no page is cached. Include the form dynamically instead.

twig
{# templates/_layout.twig #}
<footer class="site-footer">
  <h2>Get our weekly specials</h2>
  {{ craft.speedy.dynamic('_parts/newsletter', {}, {
    placeholder: '<p>Loading the sign-up form…</p>',
  }) }}
</footer>

The part ​

twig
{# templates/_parts/newsletter.twig #}
{{ craft.formie.renderForm('newsletter') }}

What happens ​

  • Every page is cached, footer and all.
  • The form is rendered for each visitor, with its CSS and JavaScript, so validation, multi-page steps and Ajax submission work as usual.
  • After submitting, the visitor sees their own “Thanks” message, never someone else’s.

The same works for any form plugin, or a search box that shows the visitor’s last search.
