Browser cache headers are send even when page is in exception list

    Hi,

    I have a page on a website that I don’t want to be cached.

    So I set “Never cache the following pages:” /test* at the page cache page.

    I tried some different regex: /test/ /test test but all with the same result.

    When I look at the headers send to the browsers I still see the cache headers:
    cache-control: max-age=3600
    content-encoding: gzip
    content-length: 13881
    content-type: text/html; charset=UTF-8
    date: Tue, 14 Apr 2020 15:17:29 GMT
    expires: Tue, 14 Apr 2020 16:17:29 GMT
    link: …..
    referrer-policy: no-referrer-when-downgrade
    server: Apache
    status: 200
    vary: User-Agent,Accept-Encoding
    x-powered-by: W3 Total Cache/0.13.2

    Is this intended? Can’t I exclude some pages from being cached in the browser?

    Thanks,

    Rick

    Hello @rickgb

    Thank you for your inquiry and I am happy to assist you with this.
    When you exclude a page from cache, it means that the cached version of the page will not be saved in E.G. wp-content/cache/page-enhanced
    You cannot exclude a single page from browser cache.
    Browser cache works per extension only. So you should not use Browser cache for HTML in that case (uncheck expires header at least).
    Thank you!
