And both times the page was cached. * Also, every time a comment is approved, (which is automatic on this site), the cache for that page is cleared. - This reply was modified 6 years, 9 months ago by [Marc Lacroix](https://wordpress.org/support/users/marcusig/). * Thread Starter [steve92](https://wordpress.org/support/users/steve92/) * (@steve92) * [6 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-with-captcha-bws-plugin/page/2/#post-11929043) * Yes, it works now. It doesn’t work when I install the theme update, in this case I have to manually reset the cache or wait 8 hours. * [Marc Lacroix](https://wordpress.org/support/users/marcusig/) * (@marcusig) * [6 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-with-captcha-bws-plugin/page/2/#post-11931411) * The website seem to use the theme wp-portfolio.

We use CloudFlare on our sites as well, and don’t have any issues with the cache. So I’ll take a look at Captcha-bws to see what the issues could be. * Thread Starter [steve92](https://wordpress.org/support/users/steve92/) * (@steve92) * [6 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-with-captcha-bws-plugin/page/2/#post-11976068) * The problem was not given to me only with Captcha but also with the number of messages the guests write. As I said, I closed the WP-Optimize plugin cache and I keep CloudFlare. I think they were in conflict. * Thread Starter [steve92](https://wordpress.org/support/users/steve92/) * (@steve92) * [6 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-with-captcha-bws-plugin/page/2/#post-11977278) * If I were you I would remove the cache option from WP-Optimize because now the web server has a cache of its own, so yours is not needed, besides your plugin would be less heavy. * [Marc Lacroix](https://wordpress.org/support/users/marcusig/) * (@marcusig) * [6 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-with-captcha-bws-plugin/page/2/#post-11988601) * Hi Steve, * Most webservers do not have a cache of their own, and when they do, it often complements the caching solution that WP-Optimize and similar plugins offer. And as I say, we use both WP-Optimize and Cloudflare on our own website, with great results. * I’ll mark this topic as resolved, as you’ve found a solution that fits your needs. * Best wishes, * Marc.
