HyperCache works in browser but not using third-party testing tools

    I’m having a problem with the cache. It works perfectly fine in my browser but when using third party testing tools like gtmetrix or pingdom, it’s clear it’s not serving a cached page. I have set the plugin with everything default except “Cached pages will be valid for” is set to 0 (stay cached forever).

    Please can you investigate why?

    Edit: I’ve been using WP Super Cache for so long without any problems. I wanted to try hyper cache because it has options I can take advantage of. WP Super Cache gives me a 20 ms load time for the first document and hypercache is the same when looking in my browsers developer tools. It must be avoiding cache for pingdom requests.

    The “problem” is hypercache is skipping the cache when no-cache headers are sent. This really should be disabled by default with an option to skip the cache if a no-cache header is sent because the users needing this are only going to account for fraction of those that don’t (less than 1%). Cache is’t just helpful for legitimate traffic but it helps keep server load down by harmful bots that use no-cache headers in their requests. I hope you take this into consideration.

    Another problem (an actual one) is that the advanced-cache.php file throws errors if WordPress crons are executed locally using /usr/bin/php.
