Struggling to troubleshoot

    Hello all, I’ve looked through the various troubleshooting posts thus far, and all of them recommend turning various settings off.

    The specific issues that I’m coming across right now, is despite using the “Save Changes and Empty Cache” button, I’m seeing that everything continues to persist, and I just can’t quite chase down why that is ??

    I’m testing using a Chrome Incognito window, with the Developer Tools window open and “Disable cache” checked on the Network tab. I can have everything turned on, and it breaks the site (a lot of CSS just isn’t getting applied for whatever reason). But then I can systematically turn things off, but the site just doesn’t come to “normal” until I fully deactivate the plugin. I can literally have every option unchecked, but it doesn’t make a difference until I actually do a full deactivate.

    This makes it a bit hard to troubleshoot and chase down the specific issue ?? FWIW, my Contact page seems to be the biggest impacted by any changes, https://bestrong.flywheelstaging.com/contact/. Thanks for any help!

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    you will likely have to clear the flywheel cache with every change you make in Autoptimize’s configuration wpg4665 (disabling a plugin triggers a cache clear as well).

    re. the contact page; you could try simply disabling AO by going to the “edit” screen of that page and in the “autoptimize this page” metabox disable the “optimize this page” option?

    hope this helps,

    Hi Frank, thanks so much for writing back! So, even with “WP_CACHE” disabled on my staging site, you’re thinking there’s still some magical Flywheel cache that’s being applied?

    not sure if this counts as magical, but hosts often use nginx or varnish caching, which is not specific to WordPress and does not depend on WP_CACHE being set. and indeed as you can see in below screenshot, the HTTP response headers confirm the page is cached.

    Wow, I spent waayy too long troubleshooting this, and unable to figure out why this was so broken! I had not considered that there was a separate cache, apart from WP_CACHE.

    Thanks so much for the help!

    Just for completeness, now that I’m actually able to successfully troubleshoot, it turns out it was “Remove WordPress block CSS” causing my contact page to break. It only saved me ~4kb turning this on, so it doesn’t seem like any major gain by removing it.
