Strange , why do u use boost together with file cache?

giorgio79’s picture

Boost is only for anon users...

file cache can be used for logged in pages?

Recently I found actually boost are used a lot in logged in page, like as megagame.com, it heavily uses boost, and also for logged in page, however, the logged in public page.

And, ab can only test anonymous requests.
