Website, Application, Performance

My site is at https://www.stockmaniacs.net. Its hosted in Dreamhost Dreampress plan. I activated flexible SSL in CF. After that I have installed Cloudflare Flexible SSL plugin in wordepress. Now, I noticed that my varnish is not caching. When I contacted the dreamhost team they told me to contact Cloudflare. Below are there response.

They made this up. The server header is meaningless.

The value of x-cachable is defined in your VCL, but YES:Forced in many recipes means that the backend send a TTL lower than 300s.

Why do you think Varnish is not caching your site? Do you have an example URL that is not being cached in Varnish when it should be?
