W3 Total cache and SSL

  • Hello,

    i’ve been using Total cache for quite some time and i am still using it on a lot of websites i did, but so far i didn’t have a problem like this.

    When i activated it on one of the websites i maintain, on some of the pages i have this problem:

    It seems like css file is not working properly and, as you can see, SSL reports that the connection is not secure. This happens on desktop and mobile.

    Funny thing is that when i login to the backend and then logout and go back to the page that wasn’t working, it starts to load good again.

    I have turned on:
    – page cache
    – browser cache
    – object caching

    As soon as i deactivate Total cache, this problem goes away.

    Can you please give me some advice how to make this work?

    Best regards

  • “It seems like css file is not working properly and, as you can see, SSL reports that the connection is not secure.” This happened because the files downloaded from http, not https. Your https at this moment only working on its html file

    I found this problem too when temporary using https

    You have to make sure those files downloaded from https.

    Try this query on Google “w3tc css files https” without quote

    Sorry I don’t remember the solution

    *edit
    How about forcing http to use https using htaccess??
    I’m using htaccess to force using http, because some of my urls was listed on google as https.

    Have you tried to thick option on page cache for caching SSL (https) requests uniquely?

    Hi muchmuch11,

    thank you for your reply, but i didn’t quite understand which files were talking about. Can you explain better?

    I hope that somebody from Total cache crew will come up at some point.

    Regards

    I mean CSS or JS files. Have you tried my 2nd reply solution? Because it works for the same problem on another thread, and I think it’s the simplest solution.

    W3TC crew won’t come here, the guy haven’t had any activity here for 5 months. And also FYI there won’t be new update available for this plugin.

    There won’t be any update?

    Why not? Are they leaving the project?

    Go to page cache and enable the string cache SSL requests uniquely.
