About Checking if Server Caching Works

To test if caching works, you can output {% now "Y-m-d H:i:s" %} in a template temporarily and check if the time stays the same after refresh. If you want, you can also put it permanently into a HTML comment like so:

1
2
3
4
<!--
Last cached:
{% now "Y-m-d H:i:s" %}
-->
