# WP-Super-Cache: Served supercache file from PHP

 * I am using the latest version of WP Super Cache — I have been for a long time—
   thank you! But I just noticed I may have a problem. I followed Hostgator’s set-
   up found here –> [http://support.hostgator.com/articles/specialized-help/technical/wordpress/wp-super-cache-plugin](http://support.hostgator.com/articles/specialized-help/technical/wordpress/wp-super-cache-plugin)
 * Yet, my server header still returns “WP-Super-Cache: Served supercache file from
   PHP” Should I not expect a different result because I have mod rewrite selected?
 * My pages return at the bottom of the page something like: `<!– Dynamic page generated
   in 1.291 seconds. –>
    <!– Cached page generated by WP-Super-Cache on 2013-08-
   04 21:45:55 –>
 * <!– Compression = gzip –>`

 * The following is a reply I received from my Web host as to why issues are occurring
   with WP Super Cache.
 * I hope this helps:

   > Sorry for the delay in response. Support queues are higher than we’d like right
   > now, but let’s cut to the chase:
   > WP Super Cache is active, configured to HostGator’s specifications, and working.
   > For some unknown reason, despite extensive investigation, WP Super Cache’s 
   > own testing system fails because it is unable to resolve its own domain. The
   > plugin is not making a DNS request to identify where `www.navycs.com` goes.
   > I’ve never seen this error before, and it would be too time-consuming to go
   > into the plugin and pinpoint the code that seems to be problematic. If this
   > is concerning to you, I would recommend that you contact the developer of the
   > plugin with the information I mentioned in this email.
   > The probable explanation for why you received the “Served super cache file 
   > from PHP” header is that the page that you read the headers from was already
   > cached. Flushing your browser cache and the WP Super Cache cache would force
   > your site to resend the page, which should not have that header value anymore.

 * I apologize for posting again, but while looking at both sites, [http://inphotos.org/](http://inphotos.org/)
   and [http://ocaoimh.ie](http://ocaoimh.ie) — the sites Donncha contributes to
   according to the links in the admin portion of the plug-in — both return “WP-
   Super-Cache: Served supercache file from PHP” in the server header. I assume 
   mod_rewrite is used as recommended on both of those blogs, but they both appear
   not to be serving pages as designed (according to the header). Are those sites
   returning the errors listed above as my site does? Am I missing something? Is
   there a bug, or am I the only one experiencing this issue? I would love to figure
   out how to get the mod_rewrite to work — Hostgator is at a loss, too.

 * Does anyone have mod_rewrite option of this plug-in working??
