Cold load extremly slow..

    Hi I’m getting 3/4secs in desktop to load a page without cache. I checked the HTTP request for HTML document in the cold loading of pages and it reports Cloudflare cache as expired, and LiteSpeed as “miss”, so not sure why even with APO (using Cloudflare official plugin), cold start is painfully slow right now, which affects Pagespeed performance.

    Hi @snippet24,

    Let me try and see if I understand correctly. You have APO active in your Cloudflare account for the specific domain, you have the plugin installed, connected and activated in your WordPress site, but it takes a little long before cache is built up on both the server and APO. A couple of questions for you:

    1. Does this happen for new content only?
    2. What happens for old content that hasn’t changed?
    3. How fast does content expire? (4 hours would is set as the default when you apply the plugin’s)

    As a general observation, if the cache is slow being built up on server, that’s not a healthy sign for the stack (WordPresss + plugins + hosting).

    Hi, yes. I don’t know if maybe is a hosting performance issue, not sure really.

    Does this happen for new content only?

    Nop

    What happens for old content that hasn’t changed?

    If is expired or miss it loads slowly

    How fast does content expire? (4 hours would is set as the default when you apply the plugin’s)

    That would be the Browser Cache TTL? Is yes is set to “Respect existing headers”….

    Thank you for your reply, and based off of your answers, it’s not very likely this is due to Cloudflare APO, but probably a misconfiguration at either your server level or caching plugins you’re running on your site. What kind of performance plugins are you using?

    Hi @defries,
    I have good news: I’m getting “revalidated” headers for old content now which usually had the value of “expired” that has improved performance and the Web Core Vitals significantly.

    Also important to note APO subscription is not active (the payment does not depend directly on me, but I already send a message about it).

    What kind of performance plugins are you using?

    I’m using: Autoptimize (asset optimization) + LiteSpeed cache + Cloudflare official plugin. To have in mind Autoptimize as said by the author is not a cache plugin in itself.
