# [Plugin: WP Super Cache] Performance Failure?

 * I’m in the middle of a traffic surge and my site is absolutely crawling (www.
   triplepundit.com)
 * I think WP-Super-Cache is not working properly, thought the interface seems okay.
   If I view source on one of my pages, I’m supposed to get something like this:
 * <!– Dynamic Page Served (once) in 0.829 seconds –>
    <!– Cached page generated
   by WP-Super-Cache on 2009-01-12 16:11:54 –> <!– Compression = gzip –>
 * If I am logged in, then all I see is this:
 * <!– Dynamic page generated in 0.539 seconds. –>
    <!– Live page served on 2010-
   02-21 16:42:39 –>
 * If I am NOT logged in, then I get the SAME THING
 * <!– Dynamic page generated in 0.625 seconds. –>
    <!– Live page served on 2010-
   02-21 16:42:30 –>
 * Looks to me like SuperCache isn’t doing anything at all! Seems like I’m serving
   all live pages. Ugh. There’s nothing that looks wrong in the settings at all,
   and SuperCache has worked well underthis pressure in the past

 * Hmm… maybe it’s just a browser thing. A new computer does show the proper comments,
   so I guess SuperCache is working, but good god, the site is slow. Might need 
   to upgrade the server…..

 * I bet you have “Do not cache for logged in users” enabled?

 * I had the exact same issue as [@nickaster](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nickaster/)..
   looked on Google for an answer and came across this thread..
 * Basically I was logged into my blog, and in another tab refreshing my page, then
   looking at it’s source code.
 * I was getting the same as [@nickaster](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nickaster/)
 * As per Donncha’s reply, I saw that I had “Do not cache for logged in users” enabled.
 * So I logged out of my blog and closed all the open tabs –> then DELETED ALL MY
   COOKIES..
 * I re-tested loading my pages, and the following appeared as expected, <!– Dynamic
   page generated in 1.216 seconds. –>
    <!– Cached page generated by WP-Super-Cache
   on…
 * So, just remember to view your blog’s page while you are NOT logged in, and try
   emptying your cookies before you do this test.
 * Hope that helps.
