Hello Xenforo Community,

I am seeking help regarding an issue I've encountered while trying to integrate Ezoic with my Xenforo forum, Discussion Bucks. Upon adding Ezoic to my forum, several critical functionalities break, including:
  • Being unable to sign into the Admin Control Panel (ACP). The page refreshes continuously, leading to an endless login loop.
  • Limited functionality such as clicking a member's username and the post reply button becoming unresponsive.
I reached out to Ezoic support and received the following feedback:

Hi,

Looking into our system, I do see that Xenforo sites do tend to run into issues when on Ezoic. The recommendation to get these sites working on Ezoic in the past has been to disable any service workers/caching from Xenforo - is that something you can look into, or contact Xenforo about? If they're unable to disable the service workers/caching then you are going to keep facing issues whilst on Ezoic unfortunately.

My Questions:
  1. Is it possible to completely disable all Xenforo caching and service workers? If so, could you provide detailed steps or point me toward relevant documentation?
  2. Are there potential issues or drawbacks to disabling Xenforo caching? Specifically, what impact might this have on site performance, user experience, and overall functionality?
  3. Has anyone successfully integrated Ezoic with Xenforo and overcome similar issues? If so, could you share your experience or any workarounds that proved effective?
I appreciate any assistance or insights the community can offer. Thank you for your time and support.

Best regards,

Devin

This is surely because of Ezoic CDN caching.
Ask them to disable it.

Yes, I agree to check in with them...

We've had similar issues on one of our sites where they aggressively cached things that shouldn't be (logged in content).
They managed to turn it off for pages that were served with a specific logged-in cookie set...

It was Ezoic. They disabled the caching and it fixed the issue immediately. What a pain in the ass that was. Thanks for all of the suggestions.

Thread 'Xenforo and Ezoic'

My forum is approching 20 years next month and has had a good run. Traffic is still very good in fact has gone up over the last year. My problem is ad revenue and that revenue has gone down about 75% over the past year.

Unfortunately ads are needed to pay the bills to keep the site going. In order to control costs we moved from 2 dedicated servers to one dedicated servers and then moved to a VPS which brought down costs and also the performance is also excellent.

But with that said our ad revenue now is just a little more than what it costs to keep the site going. I never started my...
