Title: HTTP/2 push fails when Page Catch Method = Disk:Basic Last modified: February 28, 2021 --- # HTTP/2 push fails when Page Catch Method = Disk:Basic * Resolved [thinkwired](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thinkwired/) * (@thinkwired) * [5 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/http-2-push-fails-when-page-catch-method-diskbasic/) * When I set Page Catch Method to Disk:Basic, HTTP/2 push fails for the js and css files. * I see the error message displayed that HTTP/2 doesn’t work with when Disk = Enhanced“ Not supported by “Disk: Enhanced” page cache method for Nginx” BUT, there is no such message when Disk is set to Basic. As far as I know it, _should_ work. * If I disable page cache altogether, HTTP/2 Push works as expected. * Not sure why this is happening but, I am happy to provide additional details. - This topic was modified 5 years, 3 months ago by [thinkwired](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thinkwired/). - This topic was modified 5 years, 3 months ago by [thinkwired](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thinkwired/).

Yes the HTTP/ 2 push is not supported by the “Disk: Enhanced” page cache method for Nginx. Can you please share your website URL and also where you see that the HTTP/2 push fails for the js and css files for Disk: Basic?

As I can see your website is on Apache and not nginx. Can you please switch to Disk: Enhanced and enable HTTP/2 push, save all settings, and purge the cache so I can check the website again?

Settings changed, cache flushed. * Is there anything I can do to help diagnose on my end? * Thank you [@vmarko](https://wordpress.org/support/users/vmarko/) for looking into this.

Yes, I can see that the files are not pushed. I’ve tried to replicate the issue, however, I was unable to do so as when HTTP/ 2 pus is enabled for JS and CSS files in my testing they working as expected. Please check the [screenshot](https://i.imgur.com/cnpE7iI.png) and note that both Cloudflare and Stackpath are being used also. Can you please share which options are enabled for page cache and minify?

Email? Slack? I could also send the compatibility test results if that helps? * If you don’t need all that info, my setup is pretty basic. * Minfiy is enabled and set to auto mode. Method = combine & minify. * The only options checked for Page Cache are “Cache posts page, Cache SSL (HTTPS) requests, Don’t cache pages for logged in users, and Cache alias hostnames” * Thank you. - This reply was modified 5 years, 3 months ago by [thinkwired](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thinkwired/). * Plugin Contributor [Marko Vasiljevic](https://wordpress.org/support/users/vmarko/) * (@vmarko) * [5 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/http-2-push-fails-when-page-catch-method-diskbasic/#post-14128621) * Hello [@thinkwired](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thinkwired/) * Thank you for the information.

Well, this is very strange. Are you using Multisite by any chance? I’ve tried to test this again and again and I was unable to replicate the issue. Is HTTP/2 push enabled in Performance Minify for both JS and CSS? Are you using any other custom rules in .htaccess or any rules that may be causing the conflict?

What exactly should I be looking for? What rule is w3 total cache supposed to write for HTTP/2 push? * Thank you. * Plugin Contributor [Marko Vasiljevic](https://wordpress.org/support/users/vmarko/) * (@vmarko) * [5 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/http-2-push-fails-when-page-catch-method-diskbasic/#post-14147515) * Hello [@thinkwired](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thinkwired/) * Thank you for your question. In `/wp-content/cache/page_enhanced/yourwebsite. com/` should be a `.htaccess` file with the rules similar as below: * ``` Header unset Link Header add Link '; rel=preload; as=script' Header add Link '; rel=preload; as=script' Header add Link '; rel=preload; as=script' Header add Link '; rel=preload; as=script' ``` * Thanks! * Thread Starter [thinkwired](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thinkwired/) * (@thinkwired) * [5 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/http-2-push-fails-when-page-catch-method-diskbasic/#post-14148448) * Hi [@vmarko](https://wordpress.org/support/users/vmarko/) * As expected, that .htaccess file does not exist on this particular website. I don’t see any obvious issues with file permissions. All of the folders look good( 755). * I’m not sure why the rule being checked is not resulting an .htaccess file being created in this folder. Do you have any ideas? * Should I just created it manually? Will it be deleted when the cache is cleared? * Thank you again for your time. You have been very helpful. * Plugin Contributor [Marko Vasiljevic](https://wordpress.org/support/users/vmarko/) * (@vmarko) * [5 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/http-2-push-fails-when-page-catch-method-diskbasic/#post-14150982) * Hello [@thinkwired](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thinkwired/) * Thank you for the information. Well yes, that is strange. You should also double- check what is the file permission on your server (should be 644) Yes, you can try manually adding the rules, just make sure to use the path of the files on your server. The file should not be deleted once the cache is cleared as the rules are set by the enabled option.

It is hosted on a completely different server AND there are other sites on this server that do NOT have the same issue. This is a really strange bug.
