Hello,
First, thanks for releasing the APO for Wordpress!
This is a killer feature
I do experience a huge benefit with my browser.
But I am having a hard time to measure it with Google’s PageSpeed Insights.
I am testing the homepage of our staging Wordpress: https://wisepops.tech
It appears that the request issued by PageSpeed always reach our origin server.
I can’t understand why, since the request:
- does not contain the header Cache-Control: no-cache
- does not query an URL with search params.
- does not contain any Wordpress related cookie
Here is an example of request from PageSpeed Insights that hit our server:
URI: /
HOST: wisepops.tech
CONNECTION: Keep-Alive
ACCEPT-ENCODING: gzip
CF-IPCOUNTRY: XX
X-FORWARDED-FOR: 66.249.93.123
CF-RAY: 5e6adae626bfdc2b-LHR
X-FORWARDED-PROTO: https
CF-VISITOR: {"scheme":"https"}
CF-EW-VIA: 15
CDN-LOOP: cloudflare; subreqs=1
ACCEPT-LANGUAGE: en-US
ACCEPT: */*

CF-CONNECTING-IP: 66.249.93.123
CF-REQUEST-ID: 05f6a723d50000dc2b98a41000000001
Our origin server keeps receiving such requests when repeating the PageSpeed analyze.
The CF-CONNECTING-IP slightly changes, but the end of CF-RAY is always LHR.
So my question is, why PageSpeed Insights always bypass the Cloudflare HTML cache?
Many thanks!
