 * [@binarywc](https://wordpress.org/support/users/binarywc/) – you are correct!
 * I created a new install of WordPress on a test URL and installed only the caching
   plugin. Made all of the configurations I made to my production site and found
   that it had no impact on the .htaccess redirect.
 * So I’ll troubleshoot my site and figure out why I have this unusual scenario 
   taking place.
 * Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!

 * This issue is that even though I defined an alternate index page in my .htaccess,
   when I add a caching plugin it ignores this redirect.
 * So if the plugin is not enabled – then my alternate index page works, but the
   moment I activate the plugin then it ignores the request and reverts back to 
   the default index.php page.
 * This seems to be the case for most caching plugins I researched but I might be
   mistaken which is why I wanted to ask the question here.
 * I really want caching, but then I also need to define an index page other than
   the /index.php that is my current default.
 * Thanks again!
