Thank you for the fast reply. Your answer makes sense, and thank you for the suggestion wrt to file vs web request.

Thanks, the ebook looks like a good source.

Yes, thank you for the reply, it’s working now. You’re probably right about the browser cache. But would you be able to hide the url? ;-0

This should be possible, yes? Essentially just moving the subfolder one step closer to the root:
/main-folder/subfolder/* >>> https://mysite/subfolder/*

No development here. I’m using a 2024 child theme, trying to keep everything as minimal as possible. But as the child is 99.99% visual block editor on the fly, my hack assembly is a bit of a CSS and JS snafu. I probably should address the CSS first, but instead of tackling that on the pages in question (er, all of them…), I’m starting to experiment with minification, deferring, and async to resolve loading issues as a whole. I’m starting with basically zero knowledge. So, my last (hopefully..) question is, when I’m trying different options wrt minification, deferring, and asyncing, should I purge CF cache and/or purge minification when offered by the plugin at hand (eg, WPO, which I’m currently using) after each operation, or is that something AFC does by default, so I can leave it alone?

I tend to forget that edits clear the page at hand and in the moment I unnecessarily purge the whole enchilada, so most of the pages don’t get reloaded unless I run a site audit. What a waste, but not a big deal for a microsite like mine. And I think I’ve only ever used Custom Purge a couple times. The feature wouldn’t be so much for a low traffic site like mine, I guess. I thought it might be useful for a site with higher traffic, just throwing it out there as a possible feature, as CF offers it, but I see your point.

Thank you.

I did have WP-Optimize cache enabled. I cleared it, disabled it, cleared CF, and cleared browser, but the behavior is still:
1. Enabling Public Page Cache populates and enables “WordPress guest page caching” in CF>Cache Rules
2. Disabling PPC depopulates “WordPress guest page caching” from the same
3. Disabling or deleting “WordPress guest page caching” in CF>Cache Rules does not disable AFC>PPC, and it still shows as “WordPress guest page caching” in AFC>Rules

No other caching mechanism I can think of.

Is this behavior ok? I’m not concerned as long as PPC is working properly. When I check a header response, I see “Shared Max Age,” which I think refers to the 2 Months Browser TTL set in CF>Cache>Browser TTL, is that right? Does it matter that it doesn’t align with the 12 hours I set in AFC>PPC? Which one takes precedence?

I opened a store page on my site, opened Inspector, disabled cache, and refreshed. It showed HIT. Is that a problem? The shopping cart is a widget, so is the HIT maybe just referring to the header and footer, as the cart is from an external source? I’m so confused how this works. I really appreciate the help, and just want to make sure: 1. I don’t accidentally compromise my admin again, 2. the cart and checkout aren’t cached, and 3. the site runs fast.

Finally, with AFC>PPC enabled, should WPO or any other local cache plugin be enabled or disabled? I’ve read different opinions about having a local cache plugin along with CF, but you would know best how AFC works.

Sorry for all the questions!

Thanks.
