Kinsta – Cache Reserver TTL in Header, etc…

    Hello sir, I saw in a previous thread you said “cache reserve is worth every penny”

    however, I believe you also mentioned that if you use cache reserve, Browser Cache TTL would need to be set to something other than “respect current headers”

    this is my site: https://bippermedia.com

    what would you recommend my Browser Cache TTL be set to in order to maximize cache reserve?

    and is cache reserve something you still recommend?

    —– Kinsta —–

    I was with Siteground, but they do not offer the server resources we need so I am moving to Kinsta.

    Kinsta says they already have Cloudflare Enterprise and that your Super Cache plugin may not be needed.

    But I saw in other questions you say that Kinsta users are also using your Super Cache plugin.

    Can you please clarify?

    Should I continue to use your Super Cache plugin even though I’m on Kinsta?

    thank you sir…

    Hi,
    Let me answer all of your questions:

    1. Yes cache reserve is amazing and you don’t need to change browser cache TTL. That should always be set to Respect Existing Header
    2. Cache Reserve will only work on the resources that have content-length added to it (most static files like CSS, JS, Images etc.) Screenshot: https://i.imgur.com/OfllW2D.jpeg
      If that content-length header is not present then cache reserve won’t keep the item in cache reserve. Learn more here: https://developers.cloudflare.com/cache/advanced-configuration/cache-reserve/#cache-reserve-asset-eligibility
    3. Kinsta does have Cloudflare Enterprise, so if you are using Kinsta Cloudflare Enterprise then you cannot use this plugin as it will create conflict. Also, this plugin will not work also as your hostname will be CNAMed to Kinsta Cloudflare Enterprise custom hostname.

    thank you so much for your replies.

    if there’s a way for me to host on Kinsta and use your plug-in, could you tell me the proper settings to implement on Cloudflare and setup config?

    obviously I’m trying to figure out a way to host on Kinsta AND use your plug-in ??

    Well, then you need to ask Kinsta if you can use Kinta without their Cloudflare Enterprise services. So, just hosting and no CF ENT.

    I wanted to get your thoughts… this was Kinsta’s reply to my question adding your plugin:

    Note that you’ll still need to have our mu-plugin installed, it’s a must-use plugin here at Kinsta for server caching.

    We have some customers using multiple caching plugins at the same time, so I don’t think this will be a problem.

    Do you see any conflicts with using your plugin?

    if helpful, here’s a link to their MU plugin:

    Thoughts on this?

    Also, I asked about needing to be CNAME’d to Kinsta – I asked if I could A record to Kinsta vs. having to CNAME to Kinsta, and this was their reply:

    Yes, you can use A record to 162.159.135.42. I believe this wouldn’t be a problem.

    And they also told me how to disable the Cloudflare Enterprise CDN from my dashboard.

    If I used the A record option…. and disabled the Cloudflare ENT option….

    do you think I’d be able to use your plugin?

    thank you so much for your help

    ok – I’m now live on Kinsta, I’ve disabled the Kinsta Cloudflare CDN, I’ve disabled the Kinsta Cloudflare Edge cache tool, and I’ve pointed to Kinsta via an A record and not CNAME’s

    however, I’m still getting a failed notification on testing your plugin

    can you please look to see what might be the problem?

    thank you again

    PS — also the page rule shows this:
