It would be great if it did work. But after a long time trying to fix I give up. It is not working in combination with SG Optimizer and the Divi Theme! I spend a lot of time… It breaks sometimes on mobile sometimes the mobile page is on the desktop.
You should test it before your work it out

Hi @doeye
as written in the description of the plugin, it works only if the caching system distinguishes between mobile and desktop. If the inbuilt cache of Divi or SG Optimizer doesn’t offer this feature, or if you don’t find the right settings, it will never work.
This is taken from the description: ”
If you have a server cache plugin, be sure to set a different server cache handling for mobile devices, in another case the mobile version of your pages could also be served on desktop devices.
E.g. W3 Total Cache, WP Fastest Cache, and Powered Cache are caching plugins that can handle the mobile cache.”
And this is a sticky thread: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/the-caching-plugin-if-any-must-distinguish-between-mobile-and-desktop/
And these are your open topics: https://wordpress.org/support/users/doeye/topics/. I don’t see any thread about this issue. Next time before losing time, read the description, and if you still need help open a thread before spending a lot of time.
Yes that is truth… and good to know that I can go to my open topics I did not know. It is over a period of 4 years. But from now on I will look at that.
It is in the description but maybe you should be a little more clear about that? Would be great. I read and I try… and than forgot what I read
I have this option:
Browser-specifieke caching
We recommend you to enable this feature only if you’re experiencing issues with plugins, generating mobile version of your site or similar functionality. Once enabled, the cache has to be generated separately for different browsers which lowers its efficiency.
It would be great if it did work Siteground and Divi theme.

It’s not a matter of browser caching, but server-side caching.
Unfortunately, I can’t test SG Optimizer, because it’s not possible to activate it on a server that is not Siteground.
In any case, until your server serves the same cached version to both mobile and desktop devices, you can’t use this plugin.
I suggest you open a support thread with SG Optimizer and ask them how to serve a different cache (server-side, not browser cache) to mobile devices.
Tell them you have a plugin that creates a different HTML version for the mobile device.
If Divi provides a server-side caching system, be sure it creates a different cache for mobile, or disable the cache of Divi if possible.
In the worst-case SG Optimizer has no options to have a different cache on mobile, you have two options if you want to use SCFM without problems:
– Replace SG Optimizer with a plugin that gives you the possibility to create a different cache for mobile, e.g. W3 Total Cache (free), WP Fastest Cache (premium, the free version doesn’t do it), Powered Cache (free), WPRocket (premium).
– Renounce to the cache for the pages where you have a mobile version.
Unfortunately, you have no other options if you want a different version for mobile.
