Age 0 problem in header solved by this plugin

Hello,

Of course I had configured it correctly. However, I managed to resolve this and the below described problem.

I was having other problems with Varnish where I was randomly receiving a blank page when loading some pages in my website. After hours troubleshooting the problem and trying different approaches I finally found one that really worked.

I was using Pound (which can be used as a SSL Proxy) to send all request to Varnish in clear HTTP.
Because of the above described problems I was having, I decided to try moving to NGINX and use it as the SSL Proxy instead of Pound.

After moving to NGINX all the above described Varnish’s problems disappeared.

Also after performing several tests, I even found that this plugin is even better when purging the Varnish cache than other plugins which offer the same feature (WP-Rocket and HTTP Varnish for example). Other plugins are not able to purge the Age appropriately in the response header for some pages.

I just wanted to provide a full problem description in case someone has the same “weird” problem. Basically use NGINX instead of any other SSL Proxy when proxing to Varnish.

After trying several configs from Google, so far this is the only plugin which have provided to me a stable and working website when having Woocommerce and Varnish together. I’m very satisfied with this plugin and I will continue to use it.

Best regards,
Gabriel
