Generating cache disables mobile redirect plugin

    Hello,
    I fairly recently installed WP-Optimize on my site, that was taking quite long to load. After using the clean, compress and cache features the improvement in loading speed was greatly improved and very noticeable.

    The challenge that I have is that I use a plugin to redirect mobile users to a .mobi site and it appears that once the page is cached that the plugin no longer works. I am using WMF Mobile Redirector and I tried a couple others to solve the problem, before I realized it was caching that was causing it.

    I did see another topic with a similar problem, but I’m not sure how that was solved since I don’t us AMP and Autoptimize

    Thank you for your great plugin, I hope there is a solution to my mobile redirecting challenge!

    Thanks!
    Craig

  • Hi Craig,

    In the cache settings, have you tried enabling “Generate separate files for mobile devices”?
    This might allow the redirects to happen.
    Though I would recommend looking into redirecting at a server level (e.g. Apache), as this would allow for a much faster redirect (the redirect would then be done before WordPress is loaded).

    Best,
    Marc.

    Hi Marc,

    I should have mentioned, yeah I did try that setting and it didn’t seem to have any effect. Thanks for your advice on the redirect at server level. I will look into that!

    Hi Craig,

    If you’re not winning with the server-level redirect, you could try this code snippet:

    add_action( 'init', function() {
	if ( function_exists( 'wpo_is_mobile' ) && wpo_is_mobile() ) {
		// Do not cache
		if ( ! defined( 'DONOTCACHEPAGE' ) ) define( 'DONOTCACHEPAGE', true );
	}
});

    This will deactivate caching for mobile devices, which will allow the plugin to redirect as expected.

    It will however skip caching on mobile, so a server-level redirection would be preferable.

    Best,
    Marc.

    @craigevans Did you finally solved this? I have the same problem with SG Optimizer Cache. I want to have both (desktop and mobile) on chache, and the pluggin Mobile Redirect working.

    Can you share the Apache lines and where should I add them?

    Thahk you!

    I used WP Mobile Redirect and it works with caching on desktop and mobile

    We have tried at https://photo-to-text.com/ , but for us doesn’t work ok unless we exclude from cache https://photo-to-text.com/ and https://photo-to-text.com/mob . It shows everywhere https://photo-to-text.com/

    ?Any idea?
