 {{Note1|Important: You should understand that making changes on a live store without closing the storefront may cause temporary inconsistencies in the store's functioning, which may lead to undesirable consequences. For example, if you change the store's tax or shipping settings while some customers are checking out, these customers may get wrong order totals.}}

If you do not wish notifications of this kind to be sent, set this value to "0" (zero).

 Please note that when you enable the optimized mode, all your JavaScript and CSS files are combined into a single temporary file, which makes editing the code impossible. So if you need to customize the code, do it before enabling CSS and JavaScript optimization tools. You can also switch the optimization off, customize the code and switch the optimization back on. This way the edited files will be cached again.
-* <u>Generate X-Cart cache every N hour(s)</u>: Recommended value is 24. To disable data caching in your store, change the value of the USE_DATA_CACHE constant in the [[X-Cart:Config.php | configuration file config.php]] to 'false'.
+* <u>Generate X-Cart cache every N hour(s)</u>: Recommended value is 24. Note that you can disable data caching in your store by setting the value of the USE_DATA_CACHE constant in X-Cart's [[X-Cart:Config.php | configuration file config.php]] to 'false'. Also note that starting with X-Cart version 4.5.4 the option 'Generate X-Cart cache every N hours(s)' is no longer present in the General Settings->General options section; instead, it is now available as the DATA_CACHE_TTL constant in the file <u>config.php</u>.
 * <u>Use cache for language variables</u>: Please use this option if you have a lot of memory dedicated to your PHP engine. This option can slow down your shop pages in some cases. Please, check your pages before keeping this option enabled in production mode. If your store uses multiple languages, make sure all used labels are defined for each language if the option is enabled.
 * <u>Do not check if templates are changed (Smarty compile_check)</u>: Once an application is put into production (i.e. the templates won't be changing), the compile check step is no longer needed. Note that if you change this to enabled and a template file is changed, you will *not* see the change since the template will not get recompiled. Be sure to enable the option for maximal performance.
