 * Hi!
 * I have fallback cache enabled and just want to make sure it’s working correctly.
   Thank you in advance.
 * The page shows `"cf-cache-status: HIT"`
 * but in the html it shows:
 * `<!-- Page retrieved from Super Page Cache for Cloudflare's fallback cache - 
   page generated @ 2022-08-17 01:03:56 - fallback cache expiration @ never expires-
   cache key bd6950ddef815adfd7795b792a85720bf406e8f0.html -->`
 * So the page comes from the fallback cache on my server or from cloudflare? Trying
   to learn, thank you!

 * If you are seeing `cf-cache-status: HIT` – means that the data is being served
   from Cloudflare CDN server.
 * However when the first quest comes for that page or when the cache is expired
   from Cloudflare CDN server, the request comes to the origin server. At that point
   the fallback cache is generated and the data gets served from the fallback cache
   so that the origin server doesn’t have to run all the PHP code to serve the response.
   So, it works like a fallback disk level cache for the times when either it’s 
   a first request or cache is expired from CF CDN.
 * In short what you are seeing is right and things are working properly.
