CACHE HIT RATE

SkRobin

I have noticed something about the cache hit rate. That's why I am asking the expert in this community, Does social media traffic decrease the cache hit rate???

Ethan

SkRobin Social media, or any specific source of traffic, wouldn't impact cache hit rate. Your cache hit rate, and cache settings, look good too 😀

Ethan Recently my cache hit rate going down day by day. Can you tell me the reason?

Were there any changes to your hosting configuration?
Can you turn off Litespeed Caching?

SkRobin

Mohammad2306 I didn't changes any hosting configuration. I am not using Litespeed Caching, it's been deactivated for a long time.

It does look like there's third-party caching enabled, including some sort of 'edge' caching which will negatively affect Ezoic cache hit rate as well as potentially harm earnings potential.

We'd recommend removing any additional caching you're using outside of Ezoic and Cloudflare, and then also making sure Cloudflare caching is set to 'standard' with no page-rules, and the browser cache / TTL setting is showing 'respect existing headers'.

Tucker_P_Ezoic Thanks, everything was right. I completely deleted Litespeed Caching (it was inactive). And Cloudflare browser cache / TTL setting was showing 4 hours, now it's showing 'respect existing headers'.

SkRobin Okay great, it looks like your cache hit rate increased slightly yesterday, and I am seeing a cache hit rate on the top few landing pages that I tested.

Imogen Nothing improved. The cache hit rate decreased more. I had followed all your suggestions then why it's not improving???

Frankly, we need to be more patient and give the changes time to take effect.
There's not really enough traffic coming to the site consistently for us to make any sort of assessment on the cache hit rate. 55 visits came to the site yesterday, and caching needs time to build (extended time when there's smaller amounts of traffic).
