Page cache response slow

  • I have been working through issues with site health and have dealt with them all. Then this one popped up:

    Page cache is detected by looking for an active page cache plugin as well as making three requests to the homepage and looking for one or more of the following HTTP client caching response headers:cache-control, expires, age, last-modified, etag, x-cache-enabled, x-cache-disabled, x-srcache-store-status, x-srcache-fetch-status.

    •  Median server response time was 1,371 milliseconds. It should be less than the recommended 600 milliseconds threshold.
    •  No client caching response headers were detected.
    •  A page cache plugin was detected.

    and I can’t find out how to remedy it. Is it something I can do through wordpress or do I need to go to my site host? I have the W3 total cache installed but I can’t locate ‘client caching response header’

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Hi there,

    Usually those response headers can be found when you open up your browser’s developer tools and looking in the Network Tab or section. The other way could also be using the command line, or Terminal, and using something like curl ( https://curl.se/download.html ) to get the headers. An example output from the command line:

    HTTP/2 200 
x-powered-by: PHP/7.4.33
x-ua-compatible: IE=edge
link: <https://www.example.com/index.php?rest_route=/>; rel="https://api.w.org/"
referrer-policy: no-referrer-when-downgrade
content-type: text/html; charset=UTF-8

server: Apache

    If the site is being cached it will have one of those Last Modified, cache-control listed with some value. Took a quick look at the site and I didn’t see any of those. It could possible something is stripping those.

    I do have to ask the question of is the plugin active only because I’ve done that before when trying to troubleshoot something as well and forgot to actually enable it so I thought my issue wasn’t present.
