 * Hi there,
 * Love the plugin. I am using Cache Timeout: 86400 seconds with timer: 2400 seconds.
   When I use [https://requestmetrics.com/resources/tools/http-cache-checker/](https://requestmetrics.com/resources/tools/http-cache-checker/)
   to confirm the cache, it shows only 10 minutes. I am not sure how to confirm 
   whether the set values are being used.
 * Do I need to enable Cache delivery method =  Expert for these settings to override
   the defaults?
 * Thanks
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fcache-timeout-11%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)

 * That tool checks a different type of caching. It checks how long the browser 
   on your personal machine or phone caches the website or file it just downloaded.
   It’s not how long your server caches the page.
 * Your server will cache the page for 86400 seconds, so a visitor returning to 
   the same page will still see that cached page for that length of time. If they
   return within ten minutes, the browser will show the page from its own cache 
   and won’t make a request to the server.
