I've just installed and am testing PB. So far, so good! I do have a question, though. DNN has an "Authenticated Cacheability" option that provides such choices as NoCache, Private, Public, Server, ServerAndNoCache, and ServerAndPrivate. I recall reading some time ago that this setting can be important for those with DNN sites with significant content that is available only to authenticated users. In particular, the ServerAndPrivate setting is supposed to prevent downstream caching that could make the content available to non-authenticated users. How, if at all, does PB address this concern? Thanks! Steve

Hi Steve. PageBlaster does server-side caching whereas the Authenticated Cachability is client-side (including proxies). After the page is cached on the server then it could still be cached on the client, but the one comes after the other and are not tied together through any settings. By default, PageBlaster doesn't do any caching of pages if the user is logged in. If you configure PageBlaster to do User based caching either through Roles or Specific Users then it will cache a unique page for each user.
