What are the steps to reproduce the issue?

Hi

Recently been seeing in APO plugin that the dge cache is missing.

cf-edge-cache response header is missing! Please clear any server cache used via other plugins.

Ive checked and on all the tools I try it is there. Even if I remove APO and delete it the edge cache is there. So do I really need APO at all? And whats with the error message all the time: cf-edge-cache response header is missing! Please clear any server cache used via other plugins.

Using

Redis
Object cache
Flying Press
Perf but only script manager

Cheers

If you look at your brower dev tools I’m not seeing the cf-edge-cache response header mentioned so the error message is correct.
The homepage is also serving as cf-cache-status: BYPASS which means that the page is loading from your origin server and not from the Cloudflare cache, the latter is what a working APO would give you and will perform much better under load.
I’d trial disabling some of those other performance plugins etc such as Redis/FlyingPress and see if one of those resolves the issue with the missing HTTP header.
