Sometimes caching might not work as expected due to various factors, including cookies. Let's explore how cookies can potentially interfere with NimCache Ultra caching.
Cache-control headers and cookies:
The Cache-Control header is used to instruct browsers and NimCache Ultra on how to cache a particular resource. If the Cache-Control header includes directives like "private" or "no-cache," it indicates that the resource should not be cached or should be cached only privately for a specific user.
Cookies are often used to store session-related information, and if a resource is marked as private or with a no-cache directive in the Cache-Control header, NGINX might honour these instructions to bypass caching for that resource.
Troubleshooting:
To address these issues and allow NimCache Ultra to work effectively, you might need to:
- Ensure that your website server is not sending a "Vary: Cookie" header if it's unnecessary
- Check and adjust Cache-Control headers to permit caching when appropriate, even if cookies are present.
Either of these could be set by a third-party WordPress plugin. We recommend disabling all plugins to see if this resolves it. If it does then enable each plugin one by one until you find the offending plugin.
