Hi @mnahmed,

Version 3.1.6 is now available for you to update to. It should resolve the broken image issue. Again, if it does not, then please let me know.

After digging into the settings in our own Cloudflare testing account, it seems athat they do not cache HTML pages unless you specifically have a “Page Rule” set up. So, I don’t think that’s the issue. Nevermind that 4 hours is not the time frame we’re having issues with.

When I just went back to your website just now, the “expires” header that is being sent from the server is still 6 months.

expires: Wed, 09 Sep 2020 21:41:50 GMT

So, either those instructions are still within the .htaccess file, or your web server is explicitly setting the “expires” header through another mechanism.

If you like, you can go to Settings -> General -> Interface Detail (in Pegasaas) and select “Advanced”, then select the “Advanced” tab that shows up to the right of the horizontal tab menu in the Pegasaas Dashboard. Then, scroll right to the bottom and you’ll see the contents of the .htaccess file.

Look for “ExpiresByType text/html” — It may be within a section that Pegasaas is responsible for, or it may exist within a section added by another plugin. Let me know if you find it within a section that is surrounded by comments like:

# PEGASAAS ACCELERATOR EXPIRES START
…
# PEGASAAS ACCELERATOR EXPIRES END

If you don’t see an “ExpiresByType” entry within the .htaccess file, you’ll want to contact your web host to see if they’ve set it another way.

Have a great weekend! If you have any further questions, I’ll look at them on Monday.

All the best,
Brandon

Hi @mnahmed,

Intermediate optimizations happen immediately (if the cache is non existent), and then the premium API optimizations are performed usually within 30 seconds. If they’re taking longer than 2 minutes, it means the API is under load. It should never take an hour.

It appears that the web server (or maybe Cloudflare) is serving the cached page with a particular a lifetime of 6 months, and so is instructing the page not to refresh in the web browser. We did have some code in the “.htaccess” file up until recently that may have caused this. Try going to the Settings panel in Pegasaas, then down to “Server Response Time” and into “Browser Caching”. Disable the feature, and then re-enable the feature. That should resolve that from being caused by our plugin. If it continues, then check your Cloudflare settings to ensure there isn’t a long lifetime on text/html resources.

With regard to the missing image — I believe it has to do with the non-english character in the file name. When it gets optimized, it saves the optimized image to the wp-content/pegasaas-cache/ folder.

The original image is:

It seems that perhaps the system is not saving the image correctly. I will have to research this on our end. If I can get a solution early Friday, then I will release it with the patch that is due out within the next 24 hours.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Kind regards,

Hi @mnahmed,

Yes, it should all be fixed with the next patch. If I can push it out a little early (later today) I will. I’ll update this thread when the update is available.

If, for whatever reason, the updates that I make don’t fix everything (I believe they should though…) I will do another round of investigation and issue another patch later in the week.

Best regards,
Brandon

Hi @mnahmed,

You can simulate how it looks when logged in by passing a query string along, such as https://www.englishcenterperu.com/clases-particulares-de-ingles/?test

I’m just looking into it now and it appears as though the Javascript deferral method is not executing in quite the right order. Should be able to get this resolved in this week’s patch.

As far as the compatibility problems are with Elementor — this would require me to see what is going on in the background when the page is saved. I regularly test to make sure the plugin works with page builders such as Elementor, Divi, etc, however occasionally they release a new update which changes how some of the back end functionality works. If we aren’t aware of the change, it can cause the javascript to break.

I’ll look into this today as well.

Best regards,
Brandon

Hi Mario,

I’m super appreciative of you taking the time to share your experience with our plugin vs some of the others.

I know we are all (us and the other optimization plugin developers) after one thing: making the web a faster place. We each approach the task from a different perspective and with different degrees of experience. We all, also, believe our solution is the best to get the job done. 🙂

In truth, our plugin may not work for every site. That’s just the reality of having incredibly complex web pages that were never designed to be non-render-blocking.

But we’re finding that through rigorous and fierce determination, we’re learning how even the toughest sites can be whipped into shape.

Thanks again for taking the time to share.

Best Regards,

Hey @enduron !

I just wanted to take the time to say “Hey, thanks for the props”!

Really appreciate you taking the time to share your positive experience — it really makes a difference when I’m slogging through the code, trying to develop new algorithms to make web performance automated.

All the best to you!

Hey @theodg2 !

Thanks so much for your incredible words of encouragement!

Building a plugin that provides simplified web performance optimization that works impeccably for as many sites as possible is quite challenging, so I’m super stoked that it responded so well for your site.

I have some pretty exciting new features planned for the next few releases over the next few months with version 3.0 and 3.1

Cheers!

Hi Linda!

I am so humbled by your review. Thank you.

Your experience is exactly what I aim for with every installation. “Set it, and forget it” as they say.

Again, thank you. You made my day! 🙂

All the best,
Brandon
