    Hi,
    I am trying to use w3 total cache with redis. Everything seems fine but there is one big problem that if I view website page as guest in browser A (eg. Firefox) then it is generated but if I see same page in other browser then a new version of cache is generated. So in short, it is creating cache only each browser or session.
    So, if I browse pages from one browser, it is good as all cached pages are repeatedly served. But now if I see those pages in other browser then a new fresh version of page is generated. This is actually failing the purpose of caching because it seems W3 total cache is generated cached pages for each user.
    Pleas note :

    • I have disabled cache only for logged-in users.
    • I am testing as guests in multiple browser
    • I am checking page generation time in source code of page ie. html

    Why it is not service same cached pages to other users ?

    Hello @jaffery

    Thank you for reaching out.
    The Page is cached in the wp-content/cache/ folder once visited, and this does not depend on a browser.
    W3TC also has a Browser Cache option and this means that the Page is cached in the user’s browser (unrelated to which browser is used) and this is what you are seeing in the timestamp.
    So, the same cached page is served to the users, it’s just also being cached in their browsers.
    I hope this explains the procedure of serving the cached pages.

    Thanks!
