Cache works exceptionally well

Hi,

Thanks for contacting us! Do you have the option “Serve Cached Pages to logged in users” enabled in WP-Optimize > Cache > Page Cache?

I’m also wondering, do you use any database object caching such as Redis or Memcached or another layer such as Cloudflare?

I’ve been running some tests and after updating content I’m seeing the changes while logged in but my logged out browser isn’t seeing the changes until the cache is purged.

Hi,

Thanks so much for the information. You’re correct that cached pages ideally wouldn’t be served to logged in users especially users that are editing content, I just had to double check.

I’m going to try and run some more tests to see if I can reproduce the issue, can you let me know your PHP version and the web server type that is being used (Apache, Nginx, Litespeed)? This will help me set up a similar environment.

If you could also let me know what theme you’re using I’ll see if I can install it and then run tests using that as I’m currently testing with Twenty Twenty Five.

Thank you!

Hi @jjb100,

So far this is the first instance of a report showing cached versions to logged in users after a content update. Is the momentous theme free or a premium theme? Do you know if they have any caching mechanisms in place?

It’s unlikely this is a browser issue since the content isn’t normally considered a static asset that we’ll send to browser cache but it can’t hurt to verify the htaccess files to see if HTML files are being cached or to try another browser just as a sanity check.

Thank you!
