Cache purge request making thousands of requests #66

Closed micahwood closed 4 years ago

Not sure what triggered this as the UI said the cache setting was 0 (disabled) but I just found out this plugin was making multiple requests every second to my site for the past month. My access logs were filled with this:

107.180.40.150 - - [29/Apr/2019:11:55:29 -0700] "PURGE /.* HTTP/1.1" 301 - "http://MYDOMAIN.com/.*" "WordPress/4.9.10; https://MYDOMAIN.com; EPC/v1.5/option_update_fw_theme_google_fonts_list"

Oh, wow! It looks like we have the same name.

We've been doing a deep dive into the Endurance Page Cache lately and have identified a few issues which may be contributing to this. In one scenario, we found that changing the cache setting from certain locations had no effect. We have a fix ready to go for that and should be out within the next 7 days or so. It is possible that this is something you are running into.

As a workaround, try going to the general settings page in WordPress and changing the cache level to a higher level, saving, then knocking it back down to 0 and saving again. This should properly turn off caching and you should stop seeing those items appear in your access logs. If it does not, let us know and we can look into it more.

Thanks, found the database had a setting of 2 while the UI showed 0. Got it updated to 0 in the db as well and the requests stopped.
