Slow loading when the page is cached

    Hi,

    We have recently just installed your plugin with Autoptimizer plugin onto the staging site to optimize the website loading issue. We also have Cloudflare Pro plan. And we disabled the cloudflare APO plugin as seems it’s redundant.

    After done all the settings, we test the page loading randomly. The loading time seems is not constantly. The pages have been cached with HIT status. But somehow if I click that page again, the loading is still a bit slow.

    Do you have any suggestions that we could try? Thanks!

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

    Additional Information:

    I keep all the default settings as that plugin recommends, except the browser cache is 3600.

    In Cloudflare, there is cache everything setting and tired cache is enabled.

    I noticed that the loading of the page for the first click is always slow (I preassume CF didn’t cache it). Then the page is loaded instantly after reload and there is HIT status. However, after a while when I revisit the page, it becomes slow again and there is MISS status. CF server should have cached file already,, right?

    Hi,
    I just tested your website on an incognito window and when I visited the home page it loaded instant which cf-cache-status HIT which denotes Cloudflare is caching the requests and also the smart tiered cache is working properly.

    But when I did visit a page which has cache MISS your origin server response time was super high: https://i.imgur.com/biLdUar.jpeg
    Which lead to the slow page load.

    Inside the plugin settings under the other tab, you should enable the option to prefetch URLs on hover and on viewport and if that doesn’t cause issues in your site you should keep it on.

    Now regarding why Cloudflare is deleting your pages from cache, the short answer to that should be because maybe it doesn’t got good traffic to it. For long answer check: https://acnam.com/untold-truths-of-cloudflare-cdn/#cloudflare-cache-creation-replication-storage

    I would highly recommend you to get cloudflare cache reserve enabled. It costs very less but has very high value for low traffic site:

    I hope this helps.
