Keep Getting “sg-f-cache: BYPASS”

    Good Day,

    We have Dynamic Cache, File-Based Cache, and Memcached enabled. File-Based Cache was enabled a couple of days ago. Also, we are using Cloudflare APO and a Real Cron.

    Click below for our current SGO cache settings. Note: Our Memcached is activated via the plugin, Object Cache 4 everyone.

    Details: Cache Types Selected and Settings
    Details: File-Based Cache Settings

    Everything is working great, except File-Based caching. We keep getting the HTTP response header result: sg-f-cache: BYPASS

    Details: HTTP Response Header Results

    Questions:

    1. How can we fix the above? We were expecting to see: sg-f-cache: HIT

    2. With Cloudflare APO activated, is there any benefit in using either File-Based Cache or Memcached?

    3. We couldn’t find any troubleshooting instructions in your documentation (i.e., tutorial) that covers the above. Can you guys kindly expand it? It would be helpful to all of your plugin users.

    Thank you.

    Hello @generosus ,

    This all depends on which level of caching is providing the cache. If I understabd your setup correctly, you have several levels:

    – CloudFlare Cache;
    – SiteGround Dynamic Caching;
    – SiteGround File Based (Static) Caching;

    The static caching is enabled by default on our servers. However, if you have the other levels enabled, they would serve the static elements before the File Based caching – hence the header results that you see. In this setup, you would not benefit much from the file based c aching. CloudFlare are caching and serving the static elements for your site.

    Hi @plamenm,

    Thanks for the quick reply and valuable information.

    Based on your reply, we disabled File-Based Cache.

    Any chance you guys can update your plugin’s documentation (or generate new one) to include valuable information such as yours? It would keep many of your customers from issuing tickets or creating topics in this forum.

    After reading this last reply, it’s OK to close this topic as “Resolved.”

    Again, thank you!
