 * Hi,
 * I have a wordpress website [https://schibstedpanelen.se/](https://schibstedpanelen.se/)
   it will show `X-Proxy-Cache:BYPASS schibstedpanelen.se` in headers, so i’m wondering
   what is setting that header and what is the use of this.

 * Hello,
 * X-Proxy-Cache is used by the cache system of Nginx. Explanation of `Bypass` taken
   from [https://www.nginx.com/blog/nginx-caching-guide/](https://www.nginx.com/blog/nginx-caching-guide/)
 * `BYPASS – The response was fetched from the origin server instead of served from
   the cache because the request matched a proxy_cache_bypass directive` .

 * Thankyou for help but My question was if it matters and/or if it’s intended.

 * Oh sorry I didn’t understood the question then,
 * In general and to try and keep the reply short without any confusing information,
   it’s an automated output of Nginx that informs if the page has been loaded from
   Cache or not.
 * It’s how Nginx communicates. HTTP Headers in general are the communication between
   the server and the client ( browser ) so it is intended to be there from Nginx
   as part of server-client information.
