In previous posting about fastcgi, i been reviewing about the features and how it can help to improve your website speed by using the server cache. Bluehost is going one more step advance.. and now with dynamic cache features. Once you get the fastcgi enabled, you can select to use this dynamic cache feature. Dynamic cache is advance fastcgi setting that cache the output of all FastCGI applications to avoid having to process the page for every hit. This is recommended for sites that get frequent hits.
There is few other advance fastcgi option that you need take a look as well:
- Enable Super Cache
Super Cache will immediately show expired content to the browser while regenerating the request in the background. This is recommended if you just want to show your pages lightning-fast to the browser and you don’t mind showing content older than the TTL (specified below). - Enable browser refresh overwrite
Allow the browser to hit CTRL-REFRESH to force the server to regenerate the page even if the cache is fresher than TTL seconds old. Please DO NOT enable this if you receive a high volume of resource-intensive PHP hits because it makes it possible for many people to cause high loads for your account which may result in getting your account suspended. - TTL Setting
The Time-To-Live is the number of seconds to keep the cache before regenerating the page. Set low (around 10 seconds) if pages are very dynamic changing often and it is not acceptible to show content from an old page for very long. Set high (around 3600 seconds) if the pages take a long time or use excessive resources to generate or if there aren’t very many different pages to cache or if the pages are generally static and don’t change very often.
All these setting is here, to help you to run a better website with faster loading speed. Experience it to belief!

There is no doubt that dynamic caching is the ultimate solution for the issues like Scalability, Reliability and Performance. There are many caching solutions available and Bluehost is one good example of it. I have found some other reads on dynamic caching along Bluehost on internet which in my opinion can also be very helpful for anybody who is looking for dynamic caching.

hi Sam,
Login to your bluehost cpanel, scroll down and click the “PHP config” icon.
next choose the following:
“PHP5 (FastCGI)”
“All files with the extension .php will be handled by PHP5 FastCGI processes…”

in the latest php5, there is only option to enable the fastcgi. That is all you need. By enabled the fastcgi, the caching is utilised for your website performance.
“FastCGI for PHP makes all your PHP applications run through mod_fastcgi instead of mod_suphp. This eliminates the overhead of loading the PHP interpretor on every hit. Since it is always in memory ready for the next hit, the responses will be generated faster. ”
for more details about mod_fastcgi, you can refer to
