Disk cache not being created

    Hello,
    I’m having an issue with disk cache not being created in Super Page Cache. I’m not using Cloudflare at all — only local disk cache.Environment

    • Hosting: Hostinger (LiteSpeed server)
    • PHP: 8.1
    • Server confirms PHP can write to wp-content
    • Disk cache is enabled in plugin settings
    • Cache directory permissions: directories 755, files 644
    • No custom cache path configured

    Problem

    • No cached HTML files are created in
      wp-content/wp-cloudflare-super-page-cache/
    • Header always shows:x-wp-spc-disk-cache: BYPASS
    • This happens even for:
      • logged-out users
      • incognito mode
      • first page load after purge

    Headers example

    x-wp-cf-super-cache-active: 1
    x-wp-cf-super-cache-cache-control: s-maxage=31536000, max-age=60
    x-wp-cf-super-cache-disabled-reason: Excluded cookie
    x-wp-spc-disk-cache: BYPASS

    Hi @sipakmarcin,

    The issue is in your response headers:
    x-wp-cf-super-cache-disabled-reason: Excluded cookie

    This means the cache plugin is detecting a cookie that forces cache bypass, so no disk cache files are being created.

    What to check:

    • Clear all cookies for your domain (not just browser cache), then test in a fresh incognito window. Even logged-out users can have WordPress cookies (like wordpress_test_cookie or comment cookies) that bypass caching.
    • Review the plugin’s Excluded Cookies settings and remove any overly broad patterns.
    • Check for plugins that may be setting cookies:
      • Security plugins (e.g., Wordfence)
      • GDPR / cookie consent plugins
      • Analytics or tracking plugins
      • Membership or login plugins
    • Since you’re on Hostinger with LiteSpeed, make sure the LiteSpeed Cache plugin isn’t active and there are no LiteSpeed-related .htaccess rules that could conflict with other cache plugins.

    The “Excluded cookie” message means the plugin is working correctly—it’s just detecting a cookie that matches your exclusion rules. Once that cookie is identified and fixed, disk caching should work normally.
