Page Output Caching is not working

Hi,
Page Output Caching is not working for my site at discountasp.net.

I am using this directive:

<%@ OutputCache Duration="86400" VaryByParam="*" %>

In the the page, the url and a timestamp is written to the database.
That is how I can be certain that the caching is not working.
The caching does work on my development environment at home.
Any suggestions? This is quite significant for my site.

Thanks,
Mark

'@OutputCache' uses server side memory, which gradually reaches the allotted memory limit per customer [being a shared hosting environment] which results in application recycle and hence loss of cached data. It's recommended to use client side caching instead. Try setting the location attribute to 'client' [default is 'Any' See:MSDN Reference ]

Thanks for your prompt reply. I will reconsider how I use the cache.


A few questions:


How much cache memory is an account allotted. Is it possible to upgrade to get more memory? Is it possible to monitor the cache memory usage?


Thanks,
