Hit cache in first visit

No, I am not logged in. I am testing this on a browser in incognito mode on which this site has never been run (in addition, I have cleared all cache and cookies).

Don’t use incognito mode!

Did you enable mobile view, webp replacement and|or guestmode? If yes, which one do you have enabled?

Don’t use incognito mode!

Why?

Did you enable mobile view, webp replacement and|or guestmode? If yes, which one do you have enabled?

WEBP and guestmode, mobile view is disable.

Why?

That falsifies the result.

WEBP and guestmode, mobile view is disable.

Please post cache plugin .htaccess settings and tell me which browser do you use.

I tested it on Chrome, Opera, Safari and Firefox – the latest available version.

Here’s the httaccess settings:

.htaccess seems to be okay and matches to your settings, so there is no reason why the warmup with the crawler shouldn’t work.

Either you are checking the cache wrong or you still don’t understand the cache status. When the crawler has finished crawling, the cache status MUST be “hit” in any case. This works wonderfully for the other 3 million users of the cache plugin.

Yes, I know that the cache status should have “hit”. But it just doesn’t, as in the screen shot I gave you a few comments ago you can see that half of the links are marked as “miss” (blue color). Why is this happening, why doesn’t the crawler go through every single page and give a “hit” status (i.e. it does a static, cached version)?

Again, blue and status 200 means the crawler has requested the URL successfully. Cache status changes after next request, but the URL is already cached. If it is not 200 or URL is excluded from being cached the status is no-cache.

Again, again and again if a page isn’t cached you always get a miss header first, because the server shows the current status “BEFORE” the URL is cached and not after the request. You should be able to tell the difference in the loading time.

Okay, then why is it that when I first load a page that is marked as 200 (blue status) its loading time is a few seconds, and only when I refresh it again does it load faster? I keep asking, how do I change the settings so that ALL addresses on my site have a “hit” status? Because now it doesn’t work, unfortunately.

There is no logical reason for it, at least judging by your settings. To find out a possible cause, you would need direct access to your server or WP Admin.

Unfortunately, you have not comforted me ??

Oooooh, poor boy!

Better? ??

Not really ??

I would really like to help you, but the facts currently do not allow us to recognize that anything is wrong. Your settings are correct and the .htaccess is also correct. Logically, there can be no problems. I need direct access to your WP admin to find out where the problem could be. Could you tell me the URL of your site?

Unfortunately, I am not authorized to paste the test site address publicly. I know it’s hard to help anything without it.
