Plugin details

Welcome to OptiCache Free! ⚡ The ultimate zero-latency caching engine for Bubble.
Tired of slow page loads and burning through your Bubble Workload Units (WUs) just to fetch the same data over and over? OptiCache unlocks the power of your user's browser (localStorage) to save data locally.

Once you fetch a list of categories, user preferences, or profile data from your database, save it in OptiCache. The next time the user needs it—even on a completely different page—OptiCache loads it instantly in 0 milliseconds, with 0 database queries!

🌟 Key Benefits:

Save Massive WUs: Stop re-downloading static data from the database.

Lightning Fast UX: Data appears instantly, making your web app feel like a native mobile app.

URL-Free Data Transfer: Pass large texts or JSON between different pages of your app without ugly URL parameters.

⚠️ CRUCIAL RULES & LIMITATIONS (Please Read):

🚫 No Sensitive Data: Data is stored in plain text on the user's device. NEVER store passwords, API keys, or financial data.

💾 5MB Limit: Browsers cap localStorage at around 5MB per domain. It's perfect for texts, preferences, and JSON arrays, but don't try to store tens of thousands of complex records.

📱 Device-Bound: Cache stays on the device where it was saved (e.g., saving on a PC won't show up on the user's mobile phone).

🧟‍♂️ Zombie Data: In this Free version, cached data never expires. If you change a price in your database, you must manually run the Clear Cache action so the user sees the new price. (Auto-expiring TTL cache is coming in the PRO version!)

Build blazingly fast frontends today! 🚀

Instructions

Full Instructions
1. Setup the Element
Go to your Design tab and drag the OptiCache Controller element onto your page (we recommend placing it near the top or inside a reusable header). This element will be invisible to your users.

2. How to Save Data (Set Cache)
In your workflows, use the element action Set Cache.

Give it a key_name (e.g., "user_profile").

Provide the value_text (the data you want to save).

Tip: If you want to save a Bubble List of Things, use the :format as text operator to turn it into a JSON string first!

3. How to Read Data (Get Cache)
When you need the data, run the element action Get Cache and provide the key_name.

Important: Because frontend actions are incredibly fast, always use the element's event "OptiCache Controller - Cache Loaded" to trigger the rest of your workflow.

Once that event fires, you can access your data using the element's exposed states: OptiCache Controller's cached_value.

4. Passing Data Between Pages

On Page A, run Set Cache with your data.

Navigate the user to Page B.

On Page B "Page is loaded" workflow, run Get Cache.

The data is instantly available on Page B without querying the database!
