To enable fcgi cache in Nginx, add the following code outside the server block.
fastcgi_cache_path /var/run/nginx-fastcgi-cache levels=1:2 keys_zone=SOKCACHE:60m inactive=60m; fastcgi_cache_key "$scheme$request_method$host$request_uri"; fastcgi_cache_use_stale error timeout invalid_header http_500; fastcgi_ignore_headers Cache-Control Expires Set-Cookie;
Inside your location for .php files, above the proxy_pass, add
# cache start fastcgi_cache_bypass $skip_cache; fastcgi_no_cache $skip_cache; fastcgi_cache SOKCACHE; fastcgi_cache_valid 60m; add_header X-FastCGI-Cache $upstream_cache_status; # cache end
Add below code above .php location block
# Cache start set $skip_cache 0; if ($request_method = POST) { set $skip_cache 1; } if ($query_string != "") { set $skip_cache 1; } if ($request_uri ~* "/wp-admin/|/xmlrpc.php|wp-.*.php|/feed/|index.php|sitemap(_index)?.xml") { set $skip_cache 1; } if ($http_cookie ~* "comment_author|wordpress_[a-f0-9]+|wp-postpass|wordpress_no_cache|wordpress_logged_in") { set $skip_cache 1; } # Cache end
This is used to skip FCGI cache for logged-in users.
