Cloudflare APO not caching WP YT Lyte local thumbnails

Hello,

yesterday I installed WP YouTube Lyte and I really like it!

Working on performance, I enabled thumbnails local caching.

The issue is that Cloudflare (APO) is not caching them at all (cf-cache-status: BYPASS).

Inside this page:

https://lamiacasaelettrica.com/sonoff-mini/

you can find four of them, this is an example:

https://lamiacasaelettrica.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-youtube-lyte/lyteCache.php?origThumbUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2F1TmgJnvtV0s%2Fmaxresdefault.jpg

Any chance of how Cloudflare could cache properly these images?

Thanks for any support.

Cloudflare probably is excluding PHP-files being cached and the thumbnails are fetched, served & cached by lyteCache.php. Maybe there’s a setting somewhere in APO’s settings, but I’m afraid I don’t know, sorry.

Wouldn’t be possible to use directly the local thumbnail URL instead of the “proxied one”.

In this way thumbnails would behave like any other images.

Thanks!

Can I kindly ask you the technical reason for no? 🙂

Because (at the moment) the lyteCache.php-based URL is a drop-in-replacement for the normal thumbnail URL and that way core LYTE does not have to bother with fetching/ validating/ caching/ refreshing/ serving the thumbnail 🙂

Not saying it will never be otherwise and if someone would do a PR request on Github for a different system I would consider it, but it’s not top of my priorities as it works pretty well now 😉

Hello,

trying to help I performed Italian translation for the plugin.

Don’t know what to do for approval.
