Testing the plugin but when in .htaccess mode the headers doesnt include cache HIT, but if I use php drop-in mode, it works. However the server is apache. Any ideas how to set things straight?

I suspect the plugin doesn’t write the .htacces file. Any thoughts?

It does write the .htaccess file on Apache servers. Could you please share your server info from:

with curl I get very rarely HIT header:

(For info: I previously used Flyingpress cache but I want to replace it. The .htaccess is now is only WordPress generic htaccess.)

Saving permalink structure writes the htaccess file:
```
# BEGIN WordPress

# A BEGIN WordPress és az END WordPress sorok közötti tartalom dinamikusan lett létrehozva, és csak WordPress szűrők módosíthatják. E kettő sor közötti bármilyen kézi módosítás el fog veszni.

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

RewriteEngine On

RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]

RewriteBase /

RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

RewriteRule . /index.php [L]

</IfModule>

# END WordPress
```
Actually saving the permalink structure doesn’t rewrite the htaccess file. Is it a clue?

Also setting the Easy Optimizer plugin to .htaccess mode or PHP mode touches the file as I can see the modification timestamp changes on it but the content is the very same as above.

If there is any debug that I can do for you to make the plugin better let me know. You can reach me directly, happy to help!

Please update the plugin, then deactivate and reactivate it. After that, check whether it is adding properly or not. If not, go to the plugin settings and click on “Debug Log.” and share the log with me.

Hey,

Thank you for your quick response. Updated the plugin. Here is the log:

ERROR
2026-05-28 19:56:19
[htaccess] Loopback probe returned 500 after .htaccess write. Restored backup and fell back to PHP mode.

More info to debug:

When I tried to copy another htaccess from another hosting environment where the easy optimizer is also installed the server gave me Error 500. Maybe a module is not installed?

This line caused the error in the gzip section:

Thanks for helping me identify the issue. I’ve fixed it in the latest update.

If the plugin is working well for you now, I’d really appreciate it if you could leave a review

Hey, I left feedback, thank you. It seems that the plugin works well now, I will test it thoroughly.

Keep up the good work ad please add some fine tuning features (for example if I want to exclude files js/css give a list of the available files, scanner maybe to select from list), more debug info for advanced users. Just some idea, but so far I like this plugin very much!

An other question. When I see this in the terminal:
```
HTTP/2 200 

x-easy-optimizer-cache: HIT

x-easy-optimizer-source: drop-in

cache-control: no-cache, must-revalidate

cdn-cache-control: max-age=2592000

content-encoding: gzip

cache-control: public, max-age=604800, proxy-revalidate, stale-while-revalidate=120, stale-if-error=600

content-type: text/html; charset=UTF-8

date: Fri, 29 May 2026 20:19:11 GMT

server: Apache
```
Does this mean it is not in .htaccess mode? Because it says drop-in and not server/htaccess. But the pages load very fast and it seems to be working but not natively .htaccess maybe but the drop-in php version?

Another observation: when I click through the page (incognito mode) the pages get cached and browsing start to be fast to load previously opened pages. Also the counter starts to go up. Then I leave the site for a fe minutes, start clicking on pages again it feels slow again and the counter counts down and makes cached page count 0. Strange.

If you can give me an email I would send diagnostic reports or anything needed for debug.

A few minutes later cache is not HIT:
```
HTTP/2 200 
link: <https://appsolute.hu/wp-json/>; rel="https://api.w.org/", <https://appsolute.hu/wp-json/wp/v2/pages/2261>; rel="alternate"; title="JSON"; type="application/json", <https://appsolute.hu/>; rel=shortlink

The cache is never getting past 4-8 cached pages while 1000+ in the queue. It always zeroes out and fluctuates between 0-10 pages. Something is auto-deleting the cached items or what could cause that?

This issue has been identified and will be fixed in the next update. In the meantime, please disable the LCP Preload option, as it is causing the cache entries to be removed unexpectedly. Once the update is released, you can enable it again.
