Low CF cache rate

    Hi

    First off thank you for this plugin, it is excellent.

    Unfortunately I have two sites which both have a very low CF cache rate at ~40% over 30 days.

    Both sites use WP Rocket and I have followed all of your FAQ steps to disable WP Rocket’s caching. I have also in WPR’s settings disabled the separate mobile cache, caching for logged in users and set the cache lifespan to 0 (unlimited).

    However, when I look at the debug.log I am still seeing events like this happening daily, or sometimes twice a day:

    [2022-12-20 09:43:28] [cache_controller::wp_rocket_hooks] Purge whole Cloudflare cache (fired action: after_rocket_clean_files)

    [2022-12-20 09:43:28] [cache_controller::wp_rocket_hooks] Purge whole Cloudflare cache (fired action: after_rocket_clean_post)

    So it looks like WP Rocket is still the culprit for the low CF cache rate.

    I could go into your plugin’s third-party integration settings and disable that it listens for WP Rocket cache flushes…but is that a good idea?

    Because I do still use WP Rocket for file optimizations like minification, critical path CSS and delaying JavaScript execution.

    What are your thoughts?

    “So it looks like WP Rocket is still the culprit for the low CF cache rate”
    – You are abosoluetely right. WP Rocket purge cache left and right a lot. I would suggest you to use some other plugin which are bettter and made for these jobs only. You can defiantely try using Perfmatter as well as Autoptimize.

    Perfmatter is a paid plugin, but it is worth every penny. Also it is not a caching plugin, but static file and other optimization plugin. So, it plays well with caching systems.

    Also as you have not shared your site URL I could not check the response header to see if everything is working as they should.

    Sorry, the URLs are: https://www.namibiaexperience.com and https://www.botswana-experience.com/

    I know of Perfmatters and AO, but I have put many hours of work into optimizing these sites with WP Rocket and Asset Cleanup Pro, so in order to not to have to redo all of that (and pay for more plugins) I’ll first try and get it to somehow work better with the current setup.

    So I am guessing my only way of achieving that will be to go into your plugin’s WP Rocket settings and tell it to stop listening for WP Rocket’s cache flushes altogether.

    I’m using your plugin for fallback page caching so I hope that things will just work. Or do you foresee any problems?

    Hi @gnuworld,
    As I can see, Cloudflare CDN caching is working perfectly for both sites.

    “So I am guessing my only way of achieving that will be to go into your plugin’s WP Rocket settings and tell it to stop listening for WP Rocket’s cache flushes altogether.”
    – Yes. That’s the only way. But see if doing that your site changes gets updated/purged from cache.

    “I’m using your plugin for fallback page caching so I hope that things will just work. Or do you foresee any problems?”
    – No I am not seeing any problems here.
