 * What do you mean with bypass PHP? If the page is found in the page cache, apache/
   nginx will respond with the cached HTML file, so PHP will not be touched.

 * I assume your page cache setting is set to “Disk Enhanced”? If not then there’s
   your problem. Granted, the lesser efficient: “Disk” mode also bypasses most of
   php it still does some processing. Disk Enhanced skips all php.

 * That’s interesting. I dont have that problem. Dumb question but i have to ask..
   does your cached page have any calls back to your site that might directly or
   indirectly make use of php e.g. an embedded wordpress plugin?
