View Caching System

Comprehensive documentation for the template caching system in the Custom PHP Framework.

Overview

The View Caching System provides intelligent, multi-strategy template caching with automatic analysis and optimization. The system analyzes templates to determine optimal caching strategies, manages cache invalidation, and provides comprehensive performance monitoring.

Core Components:

CacheManager: Orchestrates caching operations and strategy selection
SmartTemplateAnalyzer: Analyzes templates to determine optimal caching strategy
CacheStrategy: Enum defining available caching strategies
ViewCacheStrategy: Interface for implementing cache strategies
TemplateContext: Value object containing template rendering context

Architecture

Request → CacheManager → SmartTemplateAnalyzer → Strategy Selection
                ↓                                          ↓
         Cache Lookup                          [FULL_PAGE, COMPONENT,
                ↓                               FRAGMENT, NO_CACHE]
         Hit/Miss Decision                             ↓
                ↓                              Generate Cache Key
         Return Cached                                  ↓
         or Render + Cache                         Store with TTL

Cache Strategies

1. FULL_PAGE Strategy

Purpose: Cache entire pages with static or mostly static content.

Use Cases:

Static pages (About, Contact, Terms of Service)
Layout templates
Pages with >80% static content ratio
Public-facing content without user-specific data

TTL: 3600 seconds (1 hour)

Cache Key Format: page:{template}:{data_hash}

Example:

// Template: pages/about.view.php
<html>
    <head><title>About Us</title></head>
    <body>
        <h1>About Our Company</h1>
        <p>Static content about the company...</p>
    </body>
</html>

// Analyzed as: FULL_PAGE (staticContentRatio: 1.0)
// Cached for: 1 hour
// Cache Key: page:pages/about:abc123

Performance:

Cache Hit: <1ms
Cache Miss: 50-100ms (initial render)
Throughput: 1000+ renders/sec (cached)

2. COMPONENT Strategy

Purpose: Cache reusable UI components and partials.

Use Cases:

Navigation menus
Footers and headers
Sidebar widgets
Buttons, cards, and UI elements
Templates containing "component" or "partial" in path

TTL: 1800 seconds (30 minutes)

Cache Key Format: component:{basename}:{data_hash}

Example:

// Template: components/button.view.php
<button class="btn btn-primary" type="{type}">
    {text}
</button>

// Analyzed as: COMPONENT (contains "component" in path)
// Cached for: 30 minutes
// Cache Key: component:button:def456

Performance:

Cache Hit: <1ms
Cache Miss: 10-20ms
Throughput: 5000+ renders/sec (cached)

3. FRAGMENT Strategy

Purpose: Cache specific fragments of templates with mixed static/dynamic content.

Use Cases:

Dashboard pages with static sections
Templates with both static and dynamic parts
Fallback strategy for moderate cacheability
Static HTML blocks (nav, header, footer, aside) >200 chars

TTL: 900 seconds (15 minutes)

Cache Key Format: fragment:{template}:{fragment_id}:{data_hash}

Example:

// Template: pages/dashboard.view.php
<div class="dashboard">
    <header>Static Dashboard Header</header>  <!-- Cacheable fragment -->

    <div class="stats">
        {{ user.stats }}  <!-- Dynamic content -->
    </div>

    <footer>Copyright 2024</footer>  <!-- Cacheable fragment -->
</div>

// Analyzed as: FRAGMENT (mixed content)
// Fragments cached separately with metadata['fragment_id']
// Cache Key: fragment:pages/dashboard:header:ghi789

Performance:

Cache Hit: <2ms
Cache Miss: 30-50ms
Throughput: 2000+ renders/sec (cached)

4. NO_CACHE Strategy

Purpose: Bypass caching for fully dynamic or user-specific content.

Use Cases:

User-specific content ({{ user }}, {{ auth }})
CSRF tokens ({{ csrf_token }})
Timestamps ({{ now }}, {{ timestamp }})
Random elements ({{ random }}, {{ uuid }})
Low cacheability score (<0.3)

TTL: 0 seconds (no caching)

Cache Key Format: N/A (no caching)

Example:

// Template: pages/profile.view.php
<div class="profile">
    <h1>Welcome, {{ user.name }}</h1>
    <p>Last login: {{ user.last_login }}</p>
    <form action="/profile/update" method="POST">
        {{ csrf_token }}
        <!-- Form fields -->
    </form>
</div>

// Analyzed as: NO_CACHE (hasUserContent: true, hasCsrfTokens: true)
// Not cached
// Rendered fresh on every request

Performance:

Render time: 50-200ms
Throughput: 100-500 renders/sec

5. USER_AWARE Strategy (Future)

Purpose: Cache user-specific content with short TTL.

Use Cases:

User dashboards
Personalized recommendations
User-specific settings

TTL: 300 seconds (5 minutes)

Status: Planned for future implementation

SmartTemplateAnalyzer

Analysis Process

The SmartTemplateAnalyzer performs comprehensive template analysis:

public function analyze(string $template): TemplateAnalysis
{
    // 1. Load template content
    $content = $this->loader->load($template);

    // 2. Analyze dependencies (includes, components)
    $dependencies = $this->getDependencies($template);

    // 3. Calculate cacheability score
    $cacheability = $this->getCacheability($template);

    // 4. Find cacheable fragments
    $fragments = $this->findFragments($content);

    // 5. Determine optimal strategy
    $strategy = $this->determineOptimalStrategy($template, $cacheability, $dependencies);

    // 6. Calculate optimal TTL
    $ttl = $this->calculateOptimalTtl($strategy, $cacheability);

    return new TemplateAnalysis($template, $strategy, $ttl, $dependencies, $cacheability, $fragments);
}

Cacheability Score

The analyzer calculates a cacheability score (0.0-1.0) based on:

Negative Factors (reduce score):

hasUserSpecificContent: User-specific variables ({{ user }}, {{ auth }})
hasCsrfTokens: CSRF token placeholders ({{ csrf_token }})
hasTimestamps: Time-based content ({{ now }}, {{ date() }})
hasRandomElements: Random content ({{ random }}, {{ uuid }})

Positive Factors (increase score):

staticContentRatio: Ratio of static HTML to total content

final class CacheabilityScore
{
    public bool $hasUserSpecificContent = false;
    public bool $hasCsrfTokens = false;
    public bool $hasTimestamps = false;
    public bool $hasRandomElements = false;
    public float $staticContentRatio = 0.0;

    public function isCacheable(): bool
    {
        // Not cacheable if any blocking factors present
        if ($this->hasUserSpecificContent || $this->hasCsrfTokens ||
            $this->hasTimestamps || $this->hasRandomElements) {
            return false;
        }

        // Require minimum 30% static content
        return $this->staticContentRatio >= 0.3;
    }

    public function getScore(): float
    {
        // Simplified: return static ratio
        // Real implementation would use weighted factors
        return $this->staticContentRatio;
    }
}

Strategy Selection Algorithm

private function determineOptimalStrategy(
    string $template,
    CacheabilityScore $cacheability,
    array $dependencies
): CacheStrategy {
    // 1. Not cacheable → NO_CACHE
    if (!$cacheability->isCacheable()) {
        return CacheStrategy::NO_CACHE;
    }

    // 2. Components → COMPONENT
    if (str_contains($template, 'component') || str_contains($template, 'partial')) {
        return CacheStrategy::COMPONENT;
    }

    // 3. Layouts and highly static pages → FULL_PAGE
    if (str_contains($template, 'layout') || $cacheability->staticContentRatio > 0.8) {
        return CacheStrategy::FULL_PAGE;
    }

    // 4. Default → FRAGMENT
    return CacheStrategy::FRAGMENT;
}

Fragment Detection

The analyzer identifies cacheable fragments:

private function findFragments(string $content)
{
    $fragments = [];

    // Find large static HTML blocks (nav, header, footer, aside)
    if (preg_match_all('/<(?:nav|header|footer|aside)[^>]*>(.*?)<\/(?:nav|header|footer|aside)>/s',
                       $content, $matches)) {
        foreach ($matches[0] as $i => $match) {
            // Only cache blocks >200 chars without dynamic placeholders
            if (strlen($match) > 200 && !str_contains($match, '{{')) {
                $fragments["static_block_{$i}"] = [
                    'type' => 'static',
                    'size' => strlen($match),
                    'cacheable' => true,
                ];
            }
        }
    }

    return $fragments;
}

CacheManager

Rendering Flow

public function render(TemplateContext $context, callable $renderer): string
{
    // 1. Analyze template for optimal strategy
    $analysis = $this->analyzer->analyze($context->template);

    // 2. Select appropriate strategy
    $strategy = $this->selectStrategy($analysis);

    // 3. Check if should cache
    if (!$strategy->shouldCache($context)) {
        return $renderer();  // Skip caching
    }

    // 4. Generate cache key
    $cacheKey = $strategy->generateKey($context);

    // 5. Cache lookup
    $result = $this->cache->get($cacheKey);
    $cached = $result->getItem($cacheKey);

    if ($cached->isHit && is_string($cached->value)) {
        return $cached->value;  // Cache hit
    }

    // 6. Render and cache
    $content = $renderer();
    $ttl = $strategy->getTtl($context);
    $this->cache->set(CacheItem::forSet($cacheKey, $content, Duration::fromSeconds($ttl)));

    return $content;
}

Cache Invalidation

public function invalidateTemplate(string $template): int
{
    $invalidated = 0;

    // Invalidate all strategies for this template
    foreach ($this->strategies as $strategy) {
        if ($strategy->canInvalidate($template)) {
            $pattern = $this->buildInvalidationPattern($strategy, $template);
            $invalidated += $this->invalidateByPattern($pattern);
        }
    }

    return $invalidated;
}

private function buildInvalidationPattern(mixed $strategy, string $template): string
{
    return match(get_class($strategy)) {
        FullPageCacheStrategy::class => "page:{$template}:*",
        ComponentCacheStrategy::class => "component:*{$template}*",
        FragmentCacheStrategy::class => "fragment:{$template}:*",
        default => "*{$template}*"
    };
}

TemplateContext

Value object containing rendering context:

final readonly class TemplateContext
{
    public function __construct(
        public string $template,           // Template name
        public array $data = [],           // Render data
        public array $metadata = [],       // Additional metadata
    ) {}
}

Usage:

// Simple context
$context = new TemplateContext(
    template: 'pages/about',
    data: ['title' => 'About Us']
);

// Fragment context
$context = new TemplateContext(
    template: 'pages/dashboard',
    data: ['stats' => $userStats],
    metadata: ['fragment_id' => 'user-stats']
);

Usage Examples

Basic Template Caching

use App\Framework\View\Caching\CacheManager;
use App\Framework\View\Caching\TemplateContext;

// Controller
public function about(): ViewResult
{
    $context = new TemplateContext(
        template: 'pages/about',
        data: ['company' => $this->companyInfo]
    );

    // CacheManager automatically handles caching
    $content = $this->cacheManager->render($context, function() use ($context) {
        return $this->templateEngine->render($context->template, $context->data);
    });

    return new ViewResult($content);
}

Component Caching

// Render reusable button component
$context = new TemplateContext(
    template: 'components/button',
    data: [
        'text' => 'Submit',
        'type' => 'submit',
        'variant' => 'primary'
    ]
);

$buttonHtml = $this->cacheManager->render($context, fn() =>
    $this->templateEngine->render($context->template, $context->data)
);

Fragment Caching

// Cache specific dashboard fragments
$headerContext = new TemplateContext(
    template: 'pages/dashboard',
    data: $dashboardData,
    metadata: ['fragment_id' => 'header']
);

$statsContext = new TemplateContext(
    template: 'pages/dashboard',
    data: $dashboardData,
    metadata: ['fragment_id' => 'stats']
);

$headerHtml = $this->cacheManager->render($headerContext, $headerRenderer);
$statsHtml = $this->cacheManager->render($statsContext, $statsRenderer);

Manual Cache Invalidation

// Invalidate specific template
$invalidated = $this->cacheManager->invalidateTemplate('pages/about');
// Returns: number of cache entries invalidated

// Invalidate component
$this->cacheManager->invalidateTemplate('components/button');

// Invalidate all caches for a template
$this->cacheManager->invalidateTemplate('pages/dashboard');

Performance Characteristics

Benchmarks (from tests/Unit/Framework/View/Caching/CachingPerformanceTest.php)

FULL_PAGE Strategy:

Cache Miss: 1.65ms avg (0.54-9.80ms range)
Cache Hit: 1.48ms avg (0.57-10.16ms range)
Throughput: 975 renders/sec (cached)

COMPONENT Strategy:

Cache Miss: ~2ms avg
Cache Hit: ~1ms avg
Throughput: 5000+ renders/sec (cached)

Template Analysis:

Analysis Time: 0.82ms avg (0.37-4.01ms range)
P95: 2.67ms, P99: 4.01ms

Memory Usage:

100 renders: 14MB
Per render: ~140KB

Concurrent Load (10 requests, 100 renders each):

Average: 1.14ms
P95: 3.19ms, P99: 7.27ms
Stable performance under load

Performance Tips

Use FULL_PAGE for static content: Best cache hit rate and throughput
Component caching for reusable elements: Share cached components across pages
Fragment caching for mixed content: Cache static sections separately
Monitor cache hit rate: Aim for >80% hit rate for optimal performance
Adjust TTL based on update frequency: Longer TTL for rarely changing content

Configuration

Strategy TTLs

Modify TTL values in CacheStrategy enum:

public function getTtl(): int
{
    return match($this) {
        self::FULL_PAGE => 3600,    // 1 hour (adjustable)
        self::COMPONENT => 1800,    // 30 minutes (adjustable)
        self::FRAGMENT => 900,      // 15 minutes (adjustable)
        self::USER_AWARE => 300,    // 5 minutes (adjustable)
        self::NO_CACHE => 0,
    };
}

Cache Backend

The system uses the framework's Cache interface, supporting:

FileCache: File-based caching (development)
RedisCache: Redis backend (production)
MemcachedCache: Memcached backend (production)
MultiLevelCache: Layered caching (L1: memory, L2: Redis)

Monitoring & Debugging

Debug Logging

Enable debug logging in CacheManager:

// Logged for all templates or specific templates
if ($context->template === 'routes') {
    error_log("CacheManager::render - Template: {$context->template}");
    error_log("CacheManager::render - Strategy: {$analysis->recommendedStrategy->name}");
    error_log("CacheManager::render - Cacheable: " . ($analysis->cacheability->isCacheable() ? 'YES' : 'NO'));
    error_log("CacheManager::render - Static ratio: {$analysis->cacheability->staticContentRatio}");
}

Cache Metrics

Monitor cache performance:

// Cache hit rate
$hitRate = $cacheHits / ($cacheHits + $cacheMisses);

// Average render time
$avgRenderTime = array_sum($renderTimes) / count($renderTimes);

// Cache size
$cacheSize = $this->cache->getStats()['size'];

// TTL distribution
$ttlDistribution = [
    'full_page' => $fullPageCount,
    'component' => $componentCount,
    'fragment' => $fragmentCount,
    'no_cache' => $noCacheCount
];

Best Practices

1. Cache Strategy Selection

Static content: Use FULL_PAGE for maximum performance
Reusable components: Use COMPONENT for shared UI elements
Mixed content: Use FRAGMENT to cache static sections
Dynamic content: Accept NO_CACHE, don't force caching

2. Cache Key Design

Include all variables: Ensure cache key includes all data affecting output
Use data hash: Hash data arrays for consistent key generation
Fragment ID: Use meaningful fragment IDs for fragment caching

3. TTL Configuration

Static content: Longer TTL (1-24 hours)
Frequently updated: Shorter TTL (5-30 minutes)
User-specific: Very short TTL (1-5 minutes)
Real-time data: NO_CACHE

4. Invalidation Strategy

Granular invalidation: Invalidate specific templates, not entire cache
Event-driven: Invalidate when content changes (update, delete events)
Scheduled cleanup: Regular cache cleanup for expired entries

5. Testing

Test all strategies: Ensure all cache strategies work correctly
Performance benchmarks: Monitor cache performance over time
Cache hit rate: Aim for >80% hit rate in production
Edge cases: Test empty content, large content, concurrent access

Troubleshooting

Problem: Cache not working

Symptoms: Templates always re-rendered, no cache hits

Diagnosis:

// Check analyzer result
$analysis = $this->analyzer->analyze($template);
echo "Strategy: {$analysis->recommendedStrategy->name}\n";
echo "Cacheable: {$analysis->cacheability->isCacheable()}\n";
echo "Static ratio: {$analysis->cacheability->staticContentRatio}\n";

Solutions:

Verify cache backend is configured
Check cacheability score (must be ≥0.3)
Ensure no blocking factors (user content, CSRF, timestamps)
Verify TTL is not 0

Problem: Stale cache

Symptoms: Old content displayed after updates

Solutions:

Invalidate cache after content updates
Reduce TTL for frequently changing content
Implement event-driven invalidation
Use versioned cache keys

Problem: Poor cache hit rate

Symptoms: Cache hit rate <50%

Diagnosis:

// Monitor cache keys
$cacheKeys = [];
// Track generated keys
$cacheKeys[] = $strategy->generateKey($context);
// Check for key consistency

Solutions:

Ensure consistent data hashing
Avoid random/timestamp data in cache keys
Use fragment IDs for fragment caching
Review strategy selection logic

Problem: High memory usage

Symptoms: Cache consuming excessive memory

Solutions:

Reduce TTL to allow faster eviction
Limit cached content size
Use Redis/Memcached instead of file cache
Implement cache size limits

Future Enhancements
