Timestamps Differ with Cloudflare active CDN

  • As title says, while having CDN active when I test che cache it returns the error:

    The pages do not match! Timestamps differ or were not found!

    While bypassing Cloudlfare with developer mode the page matches. Is it a false positive? Otherwise, anyone knows if this error can be avoid anyways with some fix?

    It affects all my sites, indeed becvause i’m using in all of them WP Spercache and Cloudflare combined.

    P.S. I’ve already try to purge the cache on the CDN but didn’t change the result.

    Here it the htaccess

    # BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

  • Disable Cloudflare before running the test and it will probably work.

    Ahm… Could you please read again my first message?

    So I missed that, but still the advice remains the same. Disable Cloudflare caching if you’re going to use WP Super Cache. The two will cause problems for you when you update pages or people leave comments. One will cache and the other won’t update properly.

    Thanks sir, I did disable on the CDN at the “speed” tab
    auto minify: JS,CSS,HTML

    The problem is gone. However, the site loading speed is decreased.

    Isn’t really possible to make a caching plugin working with CDN cache and viceversa?

    It is possible to get a caching plugin working with a CDN cache but I don’t have time to figure it out, and anyway, Cloudflare does a great job of caching on a CDN.

    I see

    I don’t have time to figure it out

    Well, I’d advise to add it the cheklist of future plugin upgrades! I’m sure plenty of users like me would be happy to take advantage of the loading speed of both caches without incurring in the mentioned problem in this thread ??

    Thanks again for the explanations and help!
