Title: Quick Cache not working Last modified: August 21, 2016 --- # Quick Cache not working * Resolved [eatnabout](https://wordpress.org/support/users/eatnabout/) * (@eatnabout) * [12 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/quick-cache-not-working-1/) * Hi I installed Quick Cache today but am having difficulty getting it to work. I have some files in the cache directory however when I view page source no notes are shown at the tag. * Also seositecheckup.com is still giving me 0% for caching (“It does not appear that you are caching your pages”) as well as webpagetest.org giving me an F for Cache static content. * Plugin is enabled, I’ve logged out of my WP, cleared cache, tried various browsers when viewing my page source. I’m not running any of the listed incompatible plugins. I’ve checked the PHP error log on my server and there are no errors for Quick Cache. I also have the option set to allow caching in client side browser. * The site is [http://eatnabout.com](http://eatnabout.com) * Thanks in advance for your help! * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/quick-cache/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/quick-cache/) Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 19 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/quick-cache-not-working-1/page/2/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/quick-cache-not-working-1/page/2/?output_format=md) * [ferdienandp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ferdienandp/) * (@ferdienandp) * [12 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/quick-cache-not-working-1/#post-4744446) * oh i got the same problem.. * Plugin Author [Raam Dev](https://wordpress.org/support/users/raamdev/) * (@raamdev) * [12 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/quick-cache-not-working-1/#post-4744605) * [@ferdienandp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ferdienandp/) I responded to you on [your thread](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/that-didnt-worked-for-me-any-suggestion?replies=2#post-5385745). * [@eatnabout](https://wordpress.org/support/users/eatnabout/) It sounds like you’re doing everything right. The next step is to rule out a plugin or theme conflict. Can you provide me with a list of plugins that you’re using? * Also, it looks like you’re running the Weaver II theme. Can you open your Weaver II Admin page, and open the “Advanced Options -> Site Options” tab and tell me if you see anything about Quick Cache in there? * Thread Starter [eatnabout](https://wordpress.org/support/users/eatnabout/) * (@eatnabout) * [12 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/quick-cache-not-working-1/#post-4744614) * Sure, here’s the list of plugins: * Add from Server Akismet CloudFlare Contextual Related Posts Custom Post Limits EWWW Image Optimizer Facebook Likes You!

I noticed when looking at the HTML for your site that there are 4 blank lines at the very bottom, exactly where I’d expect to find the Quick Cache notes. That makes me suspect that Quick Cache is in fact running just fine but that something is stripping out the comments from the HTML. * Do you know if your web host is doing any server-side caching or optimization? * Thread Starter [eatnabout](https://wordpress.org/support/users/eatnabout/) * (@eatnabout) * [12 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/quick-cache-not-working-1/#post-4744686) * I disabled CloudFlare and the Quick Cache notes then displayed in the page source. So I’m not sure what’s causing it but it must be a conflict with CloudFlare. Is there a way to test while CloudFlare is active to make sure Quick Cache is serving cached pages? * Plugin Author [Raam Dev](https://wordpress.org/support/users/raamdev/) * (@raamdev) * [12 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/quick-cache-not-working-1/#post-4744692) * It looks like the CloudFlare plugin has a Development Mode option that when enabled will bypass CloudFlare’s accelerated cache. Enabling that should prevent CloudFlare from stripping the Quick Cache notes from the source code so that you can verify it’s working. * Please see [https://support.cloudflare.com/hc/en-us/articles/200168246-What-does-CloudFlare-Development-mode-mean-](https://support.cloudflare.com/hc/en-us/articles/200168246-What-does-CloudFlare-Development-mode-mean-) * Can you try that and let me know if that works? * Thread Starter [eatnabout](https://wordpress.org/support/users/eatnabout/) * (@eatnabout) * [12 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/quick-cache-not-working-1/#post-4744698) * Yes, the notes display in Development Mode so I take it this was just an issue of CloudFlare stripping what it deems as unnecessary HTML and that Quick Cache is actually still running with CloudFlare enabled. Thanks for all your prompt replies. * Plugin Author [Raam Dev](https://wordpress.org/support/users/raamdev/) * (@raamdev) * [12 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/quick-cache-not-working-1/#post-4744702) * My pleasure! 🙂 I’m glad we got this resolved. * [Andreas](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pompatzis/) * (@pompatzis) * [11 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/quick-cache-not-working-1/#post-4744793) * Hello Raam, * I have a similar problem, also using Cloudflare. I enabled development mode, also completely paused its usage, however i don’t see anything unde the tag. * In addition, i don’t think the plugin is working, since load time has not been reduced and page speed still says i should leverage browser caching! * To be honest, I was always using wp-super-cache, however at some point it stopped working! No i am trying to get quick cache to work, with no luck which leads me to believe something is messing with cache on my website! A very similar(not entirely the same..same plugins,same theme, different WP version), backup version of the website i have seems to have no problem caching, however my live one does! * Do you have any idea what i should be looking for? Is there really something that could be messing with website caching? * p.s. If you would like to take a look at my website please let me know * [Andreas](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pompatzis/) * (@pompatzis) * [11 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/quick-cache-not-working-1/#post-4744794) * Sorry for double posting, just wanted to add: I have already tried disabling all plugins with no luck. * Plugin Author [Raam Dev](https://wordpress.org/support/users/raamdev/) * (@raamdev) * [11 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/quick-cache-not-working-1/#post-4744795) * > Do you have any idea what i should be looking for?

I suggest opening a support ticket with your web hosting company and asking them about what might be going on. * In the future, please open your own support thread, as this thread has already been marked as resolved. * [Lengem](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lengem/) * (@lengem) * [11 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/quick-cache-not-working-1/#post-4744797) * My server runs PHP Version 5.3.29, but Quick Cache refuses to activate displaying the following message: * “Quick Cache is NOT active; Quick Cache requires PHP v5.3 (or higher).
