Oh no, thats a real problem! Would this be an issue for all caching plugins or do you think its specific to SG Optimizer?

So I changed all to IP address. I deactivated the plugin flushed all caches, tested speed and again TTFB improved. I reactivated the plugin with just IP address settings no cookies but again the TTFB shot up as soon as it was activated again. It seems to be adding the cookies even when none of my timers use them.

Ok if i change all to IP then will it solve the issue?

But as stated, its effecting the caching plugin in general so its not just these pages effected – every page on my website is effected as its adding the cookie to the header site-wide

https://www.passiveincomesuperstars.com and the caching plugin is the one my host siteground offers it is called SG Optimizer.

I also just did a speed test before and after deactivating evergreen countdown plugin and its definitely the cause – deactivating it shaved 1 second off my time to 1st byte and CLP.

This is what they said in my site speed audit about why it was happening:

When testing https://www.passiveincomesuperstars.com/ , we are
seeing TTFBs of between 1.1 and 2.1 seconds. This would appear to be
because a cookie is being set in the header of the response that comes
back from the server when the page is loaded that causes the page to
bypass the cache meaning that any page on that site would have to be
loaded fresh from the server each time, rather than from the cache

I tried in incognito and using different browsers and it does seem to redirect then. It seems to be just in chrome that’s the issue and it’s intermittent. 80% of time doesn’t redirect, occasionally does!

Also, worth noting, its set up for IP address now but have tried with both IP and cookie, same issue…
