High hits but the get request for the css, js,..... are not getting the header

[mattiasgeniar]

The "no-cache" request header is Pingdom requesting an uncached version, but Varnish will happily ignore that header.

If a request from cache was available, Varnish will have server that. Have you modified the VCL config in any way? That might influence the way headers are added/removed in the response.

Yes, I modified it, I would like u to have a look into it if you please, I will email u with the link.

[mattiasgeniar]

Sorry @aelsharawi , I can't offer individual support on VCLs, feel free to copy your code here and if time permits, I'll have a look.

Thanks,

M.

Ok thanks a lot

here is the link

best.

is this the correct syntax for hashing this kind of cookie?
learn_press_user_guest_id=12343232123e98998989

    if (req.http.cookie ~ "learn_press_user_guest_id=*") {
       return(hash);
    }

[mattiasgeniar]

Remove line 199 until 208, it adds logic to allow client-based cache flushing. Try again after, should improve cache hit rate.

[aelsharawi]

Thanks a lot for offering such immediate help :)

Can U please advise on the best way to hash this cookie

learn_press_user_guest_id=12343232123e98998989

  if (req.http.cookie ~ "learn_press_user_guest_id=*") {
      return(hash);
   }

--- I will test the new modification now

[aelsharawi]

fo r the cookie I figured it out,it shall be:

  if (req.http.cookie ~ "learn_press_user_guest_id") {
      return(hash);
   }

thanks again for help, I will test the nocache and report back

this is the new pingom
https://www.dropbox.com/s/a21276k34dg3fff/Screenshot%202017-05-15%2011.54.35.png?dl=0
it dose not show hit

however
http://www.isvarnishworking.com/ (on refresh, looks like the varnish creats a hash for the cookies)

shows

it was nginx mis-config which prevented js css caching, however I need to make sure Im using the hashing of the cookie correctly ? as I stated above to has the learn-press cookie ? as this plugin sets it for each guest!
