    The last update of this great plugin contains a tremendously serious error, since I was able to block your website from all users.

    If you activate protection to block brute force attacks, the attacker is shown a blocking page. This is correct.

    However, if you have a caching system, like WP Fastest Cache, that page will be cached as the page for all users. If any user enters your website, the only thing they will see is that the page has been blocked.

    A tremendously serious error that renders any website useless !!

    Hi @whitelionstudio,

    iThemes Security sends no cache headers, and sets the DONOTCACHEPAGE constant. I would open a support ticket with the developers of WP Fastest Cache. There isn’t much more we can do in iThemes Security to prevent caching or other systems from caching the page.

    I’ve contacted the WPFC developer after looking at the code and seeing no mention of DONOTCACHEPAGE.

    Having said that, DONOTCACHEPAGE seem to be specific to another caching plugin, so why not integrate with other popular ones?
