Page caching not activated as expected

    Hello. I have installed your plugin and activated page caching. How can I confirm it is working as expected? One of the settings indicates that a Hummingbird comment will be inserted into the <head> element of my page when caching is in-effect (screenshot). But when I search through the source code of my page, there is no Hummingbird comment. In the source code is only a <script> tag relating to Hummingbird:

    <script type='text/javascript' defer="defer" src='https://kabultec.dreamhosters.com/wp-content/plugins/hummingbird-performance/admin/assets/js/wphb-global.min.js?ver=2.3.0' defer onload=''></script>

    Thanks.

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

  • Hi,

    When you view the source code, you will see
    <!-- This page is cached by the Hummingbird Performance plugin v2.3.0 - https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/hummingbird-performance/. -->
    at the top of the page.

    Also, you can check for the following header for the page:
    Hummingbird-Cache: Served

    Best regards,

    OK got it. My live site is on https://kabultec.org, and my private dev site is on https://kabultec.dreamhosters.com/. At the time of my post, that Hummingbird comment appeared on neither site. But now, (~24 hours later), I see that comment on my live site, but still not on my dev site. Any ideas why my dev site is still not cached?

    I can say that my dev site is behind a login, i.e. in order to view the page, one must first login to WordPress. And I am the only person with a valid login to this site. Might that be the reason the dev site is not yet cached?

    There is nothing in JS console or PHP error log.

    Thanks.

    @carlgross,

    Probably because it’s not accessible by anyone. Unless you’re caching for logged in users.

    OK thanks for that. In my settings, “Include logged in users” is indeed disabled (screenshot). In light of that, even though I login to WordPress and view the dev site every day, page caching should not occur on that site. Am I understanding that correctly?

    Yes, that is correct. If the “Include logged in users” option is disabled, you will not be served a cached version. And I would strongly recommend not to turn on this option unless you are absolutely sure what you are doing.

    Best regards,
    Anton

    OK thanks for confirming. And yes, my plan is to indeed leave it disabled. We can consider this resolved–I appreciate the help.
