Homepage and menu are not actualized

Hi Cedricmi, let me tell you what I understood.

“New Post:” is active but when you pubish new post, you cannot see it on homepage?

Hi,
Yes.
If you go to my site, you’ll see on the front page 5 highlighted posts as well as a list of post.
In addition you have a menu of topics.
If you hover your mouse over, you’ll see a list of posts per topic.

Now the problem is that nothing refreshes. Although I’m posting many new posts, the main page still show only posts from days ago.

I get the addon to work with activating every option except for:
– Logged-in Users: Don’t show the cached version for logged-in users (unselected)

– Mobile: Don’t show the cached version for mobile device (unselected)

– Gzip: Reduce the size of files sent from your server (unselected because my host provider forbids it)

– Browser Caching: Reduce page load times for repeat visitors (unselected)

My questions are:

A. Is this normal that I have to deactivate browser caching?

B. Is it normal that I have to activate new post, clear all cache files when a post or page is published?

Cedricmi, this problem is about browser. If you try it with another browser, you can see the new post.

Please look at the /wp-content/cache/ when you publish new post. You will see that the cache is removed.

Hi again Cedricmi, I found the problem. If we don’t send header, server sends “304 header” so browser shows the cache.

Can you copy the code below into .htaccess and inform me after testing please?

<FilesMatch “\.(html|htm)$”>
FileETag None
<IfModule mod_headers.c>
Header unset ETag
Header set Cache-Control “max-age=0, no-cache, no-store, must-revalidate”
Header set Pragma “no-cache”
</IfModule>
</FilesMatch>

Please try this one.

– add the code into .htaccess
– refresh the page
– publish new post

<FilesMatch “\.(html|htm)$”>
FileETag None
<ifModule mod_headers.c>
Header unset ETag
Header set Cache-Control “max-age=0, no-cache, no-store, must-revalidate”
Header set Pragma “no-cache”
Header set Expires “Wed, 11 Jan 1984 05:00:00 GMT”
</ifModule>
</FilesMatch>

Hi Emre.

Thank you for answering.
Strangely, I had 3 different views of the homepage in 3 different browsers (Chrome, IE and Opera).

I hava added the code in htaccess. So far it seems to work, I will confirm after a few days of testing.

So to recap, the new code in ht access + the selected and unselected options as shown above are the right way to configure wp fastest cache?

P.S. Here is the modified htaccess.
Because it is the 3rd caching module I tried, perhaps something is wrong with it.

# BEGIN WpFastestCache
<FilesMatch “\.(html|htm)$”>
FileETag None
<ifModule mod_headers.c>
Header unset ETag
Header set Cache-Control “max-age=0, no-cache, no-store, must-revalidate”
Header set Pragma “no-cache”
Header set Expires “Wed, 11 Jan 1984 05:00:00 GMT”
</ifModule>
</FilesMatch>

I have replicated this issue and many times I have heart this issue and I needed to fix it somehow ??

Yes this is a problem I may have to go back to another plugin.

After a new test, I don’t get the up to date version of the page unless I refresh it in Internet Explorer.

I don’t know if it has anything to do with it but protection against Tracking is activated, I’ll try to find another computer without protection.
Also I’m using CloudFlare + Jetpack’s Proton.

no no, there is no need to use another plugin.

I have tested and it works fine. Here is result. https://i.hizliresim.com/lYP1ZB.jpg
As you see, the header is 200. If the header is 304, it means that is cached version.

Please test it with development tool which is opened with F12 button.

Ok, I will test further in the next days.

BTW, I see that most of the slowness come from external sources, mostly Discus but also Wordfence & google doubleclick.net

Is there somehow a way to separate their scripts from the minified hmtl & js files so that they are called once the rest of the page has already been done?

Do you wanna load Google Ads after loaded the page?

Please contact me per email. cedric [at] lediligent.com

I have infos that may be of interest to you.

Hi Cedricmi, is everthing ok?
