Recently Viewed Not Showing Up with Full Page Cache Enabled – Magento 2 Fix

blocksfull-page-cachemagento-2.0.7productxml

The only solution i found so far is to add cacheable="false" to recently_viewed block in xml, but this did not work. Is there any other way to force magento show "Recently Viewed" block on product page when Full Page Cache is enable?

Best Answer

This is a known issue with Magento 2, the issue can be tracked on GitHub here.

I believe the block will need 'hole punching' through the cache, there are some answers on how to disable the cache per block here and here There is also some related info on the dev docs here.

Be careful using cacheable="false" as it will prevent the whole page from being cached (this may be changed in a future update, if so please update this answer and remove this paragraph).

It can depend on how your site/server was setup. That being said, in my app/etc/local.xml of a EE 1.13 site, using the built in Redis, I have the following:

<full_page_cache>
<backend>Mage_Cache_Backend_Redis</backend>
<backend_options>
    <server>127.0.0.1</server> <!-- or absolute path to unix socket -->
<port>6380</port>
<persistent></persistent> <!-- Specify a unique string like "cache-db0" to enable persistent connections. -->
<database>1</database> <!-- Separate database 1 to keep FPC separately -->
<password></password>
<force_standalone>0</force_standalone>  <!-- 0 for phpredis, 1 for standalone PHP -->
<connect_retries>1</connect_retries>    <!-- Reduces errors due to random connection failures -->
<lifetimelimit>57600</lifetimelimit>    <!-- 16 hours of lifetime for cache record -->
<compress_data>0</compress_data>        <!-- DISABLE compression for EE FPC since it already uses compression -->
</backend_options>
</full_page_cache>

Realistically, more information will need to be known because it will depend on what kind of server you have, who your host is (and whether it is a dedicated or shared box), what caching strategies are available on the server, etc.

Magento – Disable page cache for a single block

You can't disable single block cache like in magento 1,

Magento recommends handling customer related data via ajax.

So you need to create an api endpoint or section data and use javascript to retrieve the data and load it on front :)
