Caching and performance
Liana with GrowthStack is compatible with popular caching plugins and server level caching solutions. It uses client-side JavaScript to handle content personalization and A/B testing, ensuring that cached pages still deliver dynamic content based on visitor data.
Analytics data is saved to the database in an optimized manner, with data being bundled and sent asynchronously to minimize performance impact. This does add some database load but write actions are done in asynchronously with JavaScript events to minimize impact on user experience.

Personalization:

Example usage:
javascript
document.addEventListener('GrowthstackReplacementDone', function(e) {
// Re-initialize your JavaScript after content replacement
console.log('Personalization applied');
});
Example double initialization for a hypothetical block:
`javascript
const INIT_EVENTS = {
DOMContentLoaded: document,
GrowthstackReplacementDone: document,
};
Object.entries( INIT_EVENTS ).forEach( ( [ event, element ] ) => {
element.addEventListener( event, () => {
init();
} );
} );
const init = () => {
const els = document.querySelectorAll( ‘.js-my-element-name’ );
els.forEach( ( el ) => {
if ( ‘true’ === el.dataset.init ) {
return;
}
el.dataset.init = ‘true’;
setupElement( el );
} );
};
const setupElement = ( el ) => {
// Your block JavaScript logic here
};
`

FAQ
-
Do I need a LianaAutomation account?
-
No, the plugin can be used standalone for basic personalization and analytics features.
-
How does the personalization work?
-
The plugin uses contextual data about your visitors (location, referrer, browsing history, etc.) to dynamically replace content blocks with personalized variations. This happens seamlessly without page refreshes but can have a slight delay.
-
What blocks are compatible with personalization?
-
Technically personalization replaces block content on the visible page using JavaScript. Most blocks work fine but some that add interactions or functionality with JavaScript might need to add handling in their JavaScript.
Blocks that require JavaScript might only hook their logic on DOMContentLoaded event and that might be too early for replaced content. In those cases the block developer needs to add support for Liana with GrowthStack personalization by re-initializing their JavaScript logic after Liana with GrowthStack has replaced the content (event GrowthstackReplacementDone on document).
-
Does this plugin affect my site’s performance?
-
Liana with GrowthStack is optimized for performance. Analytics data is bundled and sent asynchronously, and content replacement happens efficiently on the client side. The plugin includes database query optimization and caching where appropriate. Analytics does add more database load but write actions are done in asynchronously with JavaScript events to minimize impact on user experience.
