Identifying Cached Pages Without Enabling Debug Mode

I am currently exploring ways to verify that my pages are being correctly served from the cache without enabling debug mode for performance reasons.

Could you recommend a method to determine if a page is served from the cache by W3 Total Cache without relying on the debug mode?

Hello @kapvin

Thank you for reaching out and I am happy to help!

W3 Total Cache adds a html output to the bottom of the page for example:
```

```
While this may seem similar to what you see in the debug mode, it’s only an info used for the information about the caching, and the debug has a lot more information about the specific debug enabled.

However, any HTML minification may remove this since it removes comments.
If you have W3TC minify enabled, instead of disabling the HTML Minify in Performance>Minify, add the Performance string to Performance>Minify>HTML&XML>Ignored comment stems:
Save all settings, purge the cache, and check your website in incognito mode or logged out.

If are using Cloudflare, The Cloudflare also has minify options so it’s best to disable those in the Cloudflare dashboard (HTML minify, JS minify and CSS minify) and only use W3TC minify instead.
Of course, this is only relevant if those settings are enabled in Cloudflare and using Cloudflare

I hope this helps!

Thanks!

hi Marko, Thanks for the input. I am not seeing a total cache message on the website. Also, I double-checked that code minification is disabled on the plugin. Also, I am not using any other optimization plugin furthermore, we are not using Cloudflare.
