Title: Cached pages cache-control header Last modified: November 10, 2022 --- # Cached pages cache-control header * Resolved [Tommy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/baptistej/) * (@baptistej) * [3 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cached-pages-cache-control-header/) * Hello, * Was wondering why this plugin no longer respect my cache control header for HTML, I have set a “cache-control: no-cache, must-revalidate, max-age=0” but it look like the cached page are getting cached by the browsers now. * In the past I remember the header was still present on the cached pages. * I don’t know if it really matter but my I just want to make sure people always see my latest posts. * Thank you. - This topic was modified 3 years, 7 months ago by [Tommy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/baptistej/).

Without this header, people often think they are not logged in because they are still seeing the cached pages. Even with the “Don’t show the cached version for logged-in users” option enabled. * Plugin Author [Emre Vona](https://wordpress.org/support/users/emrevona/) * (@emrevona) * [3 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cached-pages-cache-control-header/#post-16192445) * are you using the native membership of wordpress or are you using a plugin?
