Title: Cache is not working Last modified: February 15, 2017 --- # Cache is not working * [diegpl](https://wordpress.org/support/users/diegpl/) * (@diegpl) * [9 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cache-is-not-working-2/) * Hi, I have your plugin activated on a wpms. Sometimes I edit something and take a look in a another not logged browser, which after refreshed has everything changed as well. Is not it a symptom that the plugin is not working? How can I be sure it is working? Thank you!

Please verify that the server configuration allows .htaccess Unfortunately disk enhanced page caching will not function without custom rewrite rules. Please ask your server administrator for assistance. Also refer to the install page for the rules for your server. * Thread Starter [diegpl](https://wordpress.org/support/users/diegpl/) * (@diegpl) * [9 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cache-is-not-working-2/#post-8809864) * Maybe thats because I forgot to look this one: home/xxxx/public_html/wp-content/ cache/page_enhanced/xxxx/.htacces As soon I check it up I ll let u know. Or do you think it could be something else?

But on the general settings page the warning is still showing up. Is it a bug or not? Thank you a lot and congrats for the amazing plugin!!! 😉 * Thread Starter [diegpl](https://wordpress.org/support/users/diegpl/) * (@diegpl) * [9 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cache-is-not-working-2/#post-8810663) * Thats the technical info which appears on general settings page: .htaccess file contains rules to rewrite url [http://xxxxx/w3tc_rewrite_test](http://xxxxx/w3tc_rewrite_test) into [http://xxxx/?w3tc_rewrite_test](http://xxxx/?w3tc_rewrite_test) which, if handled by plugin, return “OK” message. The plugin made a request to [http://exxxxxx/w3tc_rewrite_test](http://exxxxxx/w3tc_rewrite_test) but received: cURL error 28: Operation timed out after 2001 milliseconds with 0 bytes received instead of “OK” response. * Thank you! * [nigro.simone](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nigrosimone/) * (@nigrosimone) * [9 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cache-is-not-working-2/#post-8812277) * Try to open this page: [http://xxxxx/w3tc_rewrite_test](http://xxxxx/w3tc_rewrite_test) * when W3tc try it, the page is returned after 2 seconds: * > cURL error 28: Operation timed out after 2001 milliseconds * Maybe, is your webserver too slow?

While logged I got this warn: * While not-logged this: * What was supposed to show up? Is the warn just about speed? It looked like an error warning, telling me something on my .htaccess was not right and because of that the plugin would not work as it should, right? Any thoughts? Thank you a lot!!!
