Site Health: Page Cache is not detected but the server response time is OK

  • I am running wordpress on a private Ubuntu 20.04 LEMP Server. On the server side, I have the nginx pagespeed plugin running, fastcgi_cache, as well as redis activated (with the server side redis installed and the wordpress redis plugin installed). I am also using nginx helper plugin to clean the cache after page updates and posts. I have no wordpress caching plugins installed or activated.

    However, ever since a recent update to wordpress, I am getting the following error in the site health screen:

    Page Cache is not detected but the server response time is OK

    My question is, does this wordpress health check message take into account server side caching with pagespeed (nginx plugin), fastcgi, and redis?

    If so, does this mean that none of these server side utilities are using page caching? How can I then enable page caching (server side or otherwise).

    If not, how can I verify that I am indeed using server side page caching in wordpress on Ubuntu Server 20.04?

    All site health does is check a server response for certain headers that indicate page caching is active. They generally all have to do with local browser caching, not server side caching. Most missing headers can be added with .htaccess directives or the nginx equivalent.

    If you need to confirm if server side caching is active, I suggest asking how through the dedicated support channel of whatever caching solution you’ve implemented.
