 * Hi there,
 * At first I want to say that this plugin is absolutely amazing! My page load time
   is about 8 times faster without wp super cache!
 * Sadly it’s not working perfectly yet. I have a lot of important, custom php code(
   about 1500 code lines) in the functions.php file of my theme – including a header
   redirection (basically this: header(“Location: “.site_url().”/de/login.php”);)
   to a loginpage if a session is not set. If I activate the plugin the redirection
   is not working anymore and the page is accessible without login.
 * Is it somehow possible to exclude the functions file from caching to get this
   working properly?
 * Thanks so much in advance for your feedback.
 * BR,
 * John

 * You’ll have to use “simple caching” and create a WP Super Cache plugin that does
   the session check. That code loads when the caching code runs before WordPress
   so you can do the redirect really early in the process.
