Hi there,
I have a multi-site install and have been using Boost fairly successfully on all 50 of our websites. However, many pages are simply not cached no matter what I do. I will try reloading them over and over again, but each time there is no boost tag at the bottom of the page and loading is fairly slow. On some domains the same page will be cached (eg front page _.html in cache). It seems that boost isn't working on all domains. I don't see any errors on the status report page. I can see both www and non-www in the cache/normal directory. I'm not sure if this is a factor. I'm surprised since I direct all non-WWW to the WWW domain. I have only 1 settings.php file which is placed in the sites/default folder.
Thanks in advance...

Are you sure it's not cached? If you're requesting the page over and over, have you disabled the Follow RFC2616 14.9.4 setting?

I found when I was testing with Chrome, each time I did "view source" it was downloading another copy of the page with a pragma no-cache header, thus I wasn't seeing the cached copy.

If you have a unix shell, trying down a "wget http://site.name.com/" and see if the html wget downloads has the boost tag at the bottom of it.

If that's obviously not the problem then I apologise. It's just I spent a while trying to understand why boost "wasn't caching" when it fact it really was, but I was requesting a un-cached version each time so I was getting one!

Possibly related to #722514: Not showing "Page cached by Boost" at bottom of html?

I was having the same problem. It turned out that using anything other than Chrome fixed it.

Need more details on this, chrome is very popular. Could you PM me the site and the structure of the cache folder otherwise I'll have to tell you what headers to read from developer tools and it could takes days. Do you have gzip enable in your configuration? Historically chrome has not played nice with it. Also your chrome version number would be helpful.
