CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

We have a couple clients who have installed the Boost module, drupal.org/project/boost, to increase their site performance for anonymous users.  It works quite well to be honest.

We have noticed that this seems to cause CiviCRM to fail when submitting profiles (either profiles used in Events/Contribution Pages or used as sign-up/search).  The easiest way around it we have found is to disable boost for the urls that have profiles or just disable it for civicrm urls but you could just diable boost for event/contribution/profile urls.  Given that CiviCRM is completely dynamic content we have gone the later route but the former has worked well also (assuming you do not have profile html copied into a page that doen't use a civicrm url)

So to disable boost for specific pages you go to http://example.org/admin/settings/performance/boost, under "Boost cacheability settings" choose "Cache every page except the listed pages" put the following in the Pages box:

For all civicrm urls (recommended)
civicrm*

For only events, contribution pages and profile sign-up forms
civicrm/contribution/transact*
civicrm/event/register*
civicrm/profile
