Hi guys,
I’m working on a site running EE2.1.3. They have a twitter-ticker in 3 places in each page, for which i use 2 embeds. I’ve tried setting caching on the embeds, i’ve tried tag-caching and the twitter-timeline’s built in caching mechanism, but every time a page loads it calls to twitter and gets the timeline. This is really putting an enormous strain on page-load times. Am I missing something here?
The embeds:
