Stelios

I found something interesting which I was missing.

Reading your wiki https://github.com/W3EDGE/w3-total-cache/wiki/FAQ:-Installation:-Nginx-Web-Server#configuration I saw that I didn’t have the following line in my nginx config:

include /var/www/vhosts/yoursite.com/nginx.conf;

Adding this I see that the changes are reflected because now I can see the modified Cache Control header which I lowered to 120 seconds, so this works.

Cache-Control max-age=120, public

I believe you should highlight this more in the Browser Cache page just to make sure that people are aware that this is required, this is an administrative task outside wordpress / w3.

The issue still persist even after this change.

It is not clear to me why some responses have obsolete HTTP headers, as you can see below within 5 seconds I get 2 different responses and the 1st is missing Last-Modified and Expires.

Thanks!

Hi Marko,

Sure, the URL that I’m referring too is the main page of https://www.radioevros.gr/

Below you can see 4 requests within 2-3 minutes, ordered.

Request #2 is different than others, #1, #3 and #4 have the same ETag header but Last-Modified and Expires headers are different.

Requests are bypassing CloudFlare, they are send directly to origin server.

Thanks.

Thank you Marko, is there an example in your wiki pages about that? It has to be done in the “nginx.conf” file?

“has to forward minify assets requests” so the problem here is that the file is never created?

Thanks!

Hello Marko,

Thank you for your quick response, this option is checked/enabled.

Thank you very much, have a nice week.

url = $this.attr(‘href’),

to

url = decodeURIComponent($this.attr(‘href’)),

solves the problem
