Wordpress LScache Plugin: Avoid url parameters in widget with ESI?
Last Updated on: Wed, 15 Apr 2026 00:00:02 Im using ESI for some of my sidebar widgets that feature random items on each reload, so I dont want them to be cached for too long. The issue is that this adds a long parameter to the link url. In this format: ?_control=no-vary&_hash=XXX&esi=XXX&lsesi=widget This causes issues with crawlers who treat them as unique (duplicate) urls. Can this be avoided? The page I need help with: https://propstep.com/da/blog Hi, Im afraid there is no way to bypass this , the URL is required for LSCWP/LSWS to identify/process the ESI request. Please try custom sitemap xml, crawler should never see the ESI URL at all Best regards,
