* I cannot get debug mode to work (free version). I have unchecked disabling page
caching for logged in users and admins etc. Cannot see anything at the bottom
of the page source.
* Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

* Hello [@mstep](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mstep/)
* Thank you for reaching out.
Can you please share the website URL? What may cause
the HTML snippet to not appear is the HTML minify. You can try disabling HTML
minify in Peroformance>Minify, save all settings and purge the cache, and then
check the page source. Alternatively, you can try adding the word “Performance”
in Performance>Minify>HTML&XML>Ignored comment stems: field, save all settings
and purge the cache and hard reload your page. Thanks!

* Thanks, but i followed your suggestion but it made no difference.
* But it is suddenly working now. It may have cause by using cloudflare through
our host, which I turned on and off today. Does that seem reasonable?
* Anyway, here is the output I got and I have question. It says no-cache, and I
need to understand if the page is cached or not. How do I do that?

* Hello [@mstep](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mstep/)
* Thank you for the info
Cache-Control: no-cache. Forces caches to submit the
request to the origin server for validation before releasing a cached copy. This
is being handled by the Browser Cache settings in Performance>Browser Cache>HTML&
XML where you can set the cache-control header. As you can see the page is cached
staging4.test.site/_index_ssl.html Thanks!
