Thank you for submitting an idea for our guest blog.
We work through new ideas every few weeks as we put together our content schedule. This means you may not get an immediate response as to whether your idea has been accepted, or any follow-up questions we have to clarify your idea.

We have caching support built-in to the platform, so there isn't enough demand for this content to accept it.

So, unfortunately, we are not accepting it as part of our guest author program. Please feel free to submit additional ideas in future.
