# Cache SSL (HTTPS) requests option

 * Hello,
 * If i enable the option “Cache SSL (HTTPS) requests” then it caches sometimes 
   the admin bar. Steps to reproduce on my site:
    – clear all cache – be the first
   one to visit the page when being logged in – visit the same page in a new incognito
   window and you see the admin bar while not logged in.
 * Is this normal behavior?
    And if i disable this option my wait or ttfb on the
   request url is high, so i should enable it. And by high i mean 4 seconds with
   only PolyLang enabled 10-15 seconds with all plugins enabled.
 * greetings Tom

 * Hello [@tomdarche](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tomdarche/),
    I am sorry
   for the issue you are having and I am happy to assist you with this.
 * Can you please check in Performance>Page Cache if the “Don’t cache pages for 
   logged in users” option is enabled? If not, please enable it, save all settings
   and purge caches.

 * Hi,
 * Thanks for helping me. I have taken a screenshot of my settings: [https://imgur.com/a/VPSn8Cm](https://imgur.com/a/VPSn8Cm)
 * edit: I have the same problem with some other caching plugin, like WP Rocket.
   I think they do that ssl caching automatic. i think it isn’t a bug but something
   specific to my site. not sure, but love to know where to start looking.

 * did disable the option “Don’t cache pages for following user roles” save all 
   settings and purge cache now
    my user role is administrator and now you can take
   a look at the home page where the admin bar is visible.

 * Hello [@tomdarche](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tomdarche/),
 * This might be related to not reloading Nginx config after changing the plugin
   settings. Otherwise, it’s something with (permissions for) detecting HTTPS and/
   or cookies.
    As thi also occurs with other plugins it’s definitely specific to
   your website. In this case, I can only offer you our Professional Support to 
   investigate the issue. In Performance>Support.
