# PHP Cache for logged in users

 * Hey WP Optimize Team,
 * I’ve been experiencing persistent caching issues across several pages since last
   week. Although I have configured the plugin **not to cache pages for logged-in
   users**, these pages are still being served from the cache.
 * I have observed this behavior on multiple sites, all of which are hosted on Strato
   Webhosting. While I am not certain if this problem is exclusive to Strato, I 
   have noticed that my pages load faster than usual on Strato when WP Optimize 
   is completely deactivated. This leads me to suspect that Strato may have implemented
   a new caching or performance layer that is interfering with your plugin.
 * I am hoping you might have a solution or workaround for this conflict, as I would
   prefer not to simply deactivate WP Optimize at this time. At the meantime, I 
   will also take a look at a solution to this.
 * Thank you for your assistance.

 * Update:
 * I found this html/php Cache Control Setting. When I set this to 0 and I’m refreshing
   the page with f5, the page is no longer server from the disk cache. But cached
   pages will have this problem until it runs out or I press f5 I guess. This seems
   exclusive to Strato Web Hosting, my served pages only have:
 * _cache-control | private, must-revalidate, max-age=2419200_
 * On other Hosts I’ve got both, and it works like intended:
 * _cache-control | no-cache, must-revalidate, max-age=0, no-store, private_
 * _cache-control |private, must-revalidate, max-age=2419200_

 * Update:
 * I’ve tried other caching plugins, they seem to work with strato hosting. So it
   seems to be a problem with the plugin itself on strato hosting.
