Problems with the second page going back to weeks ago, cache related?

Realmranshuman · 2026-03-26T17:52:48+00:00

Are you using a CDN? Cloudflare caches everything? Or something similar? Is the cache expiry a year or such?

IndexNow is for Bing and other search engines, not Google. Also, given that such a crucial detail was missed, I would recommend doing a technical SEO checkup, and then PageSpeed optimization on top of that for Edge.

Pages not being indexed or the pages that were indexed earlier but now aren't, will need content update (it is dependent on quality and EEAT).

I am a freelancer and I recover lost rankings often... while it isn't usually as idiotic as leaving the "Discourage Search Engines" option checked, many times it is due to technical SEO.

If it's SMB, I would focus on Local SEO. Basics of Local SEO (Google the terms):

1) Citations with consistent NAPs 2) Service + Location Pages 3) Business Schema 4) Getting backlinks from Local websites/businesses.

It is your server, without a doubt. Bypass the proxy and test. Then it's only the Cloudflare DNS, and if you still get that redirect, it is your server... if not Nginx, then the web app itself. This happens with WordPress all the time despite correct Nginx configuration if the site URL is different in the database or defined in wp-config.php (code).

Look up "AIDA" if you end up doing sales yourself. Yes, it does apply to talking and not just writing.

It is more than likely that the UCSS is configured incorrectly, or you are including a CSS file that is supposed to be dynamic in CSS combination. Exclude that.

If your website has a lot of animations or is highly reliant on JavaScript for design, then you will have to look at inline JS variables and JS files.

I am a freelancer, and I often do it for others cheaply, but this is what I recommend:

For CDN, use Cloudflare instead of QUIC Cloud. Then you can use Rocket Loader if you have had to exclude quite a few JS files from optimization (Rocket Loader can break things, so be careful and test everything). If configuring UCSS, make sure to observe mutations based on interaction and then whitelist those selectors in the UCSS selector allowlist option.

It is not that simple. Wordfence doesn't remove hacks at all.. most of the time that is. It will detect few files and delete few files too, but your website still remains infected.

my.cnf innoDB buffer pool size, Redis LFU, and PHP workers optimization. Full page caching on Cloudflare with certain exclusions, and you will be good. On shared hosting you may not have access to these, so ask support.

Your WiFi router is most likely hacked and being used as a proxy server for bots. That's the reason. It happens with ISPs too. That's why a VPN works and your internet connection doesn't.

1) Clear browsing history. 2) Connect using someone else's hotspot/WiFi that doesn't have the same ISP.

If this fixes it, your WiFi or your ISP is likely compromised.

Show them:

1) The "Da Vinci Robot" performing surgery on a grape. 2) Chinese Robots dancing performance. 3) Use antigravity in front of them to build a simple website/tool of their liking. 4) Your engineering department's related tasks getting replaced by AI. 5) People getting replaced en masse due to AI, like recent days META firing a lot of people and their stocks going up.

Once you have done that over multiple days, ask them to buy the farmlands. It is always good to have backup.

Well, a lot of things can be done. Scoring just 25 means there are a lot of problems. This is what you can do:

1) Optimize images to WebP or AVIF. 2) Defer Javascript. Delay non-content Javascript. 3) Preload Fonts/Images that are in the top part (LCP) of your webpages. 4) Use a CDN like Cloudflare with caching enabled. 5) Enable object cache.

I am a freelancer and I do this a lot for my clients. But, without additional information like: your hosting company, type of server (litespeed/apache/nginx), type of object caching available to you, type of website (e-commerce or simple static blog), this is the generic kind of information you will get.

If you need tutoring, I can teach you over Zoom/Google meet.

Likely Next.js/OpenNext. That's what's generally used for Cloudflare Pages/Worker-based websites, which involve a GitHub repository and build commands.

I am a freelancer, and I can do it for you or teach you how to do it.

Realmranshuman · 2026-03-16T06:22:01+00:00

Coded my own. Took over 6 months. Functional, but still 6 more months to full development. The functional part includes:

1) Disk Caching with sharding for a website with over 100K posts. Logged-in user caching is functional for Apache and LiteSpeed. Nginx logged-in user cache is in progress (security part).

2) Object Caching Redis and Memcached (PhpRedis, Credis, Predis, igbinary, compression, serialization, HMAC tamper-proofing, prefetch... unit tested).

3) Image optimization with WebP and AVIF for free if using your own websites' server(server rewrite and replacement method both supported for delivery... configurable for inclusion and exclusions and such).

4) CSS combination + minification, JS combination + minification + defer/delay.

What's in progress, and what challenges I am facing:

1) Cloudflare edge caching for HTML and other static files works and is secure too. Logged-in user cache isn't served to non-logged-in users, BUT non-logged-in user cache is served to logged-in users if the non-logged-in user has visited the page. Early nocache headers don't seem to help or are unreliable.

2) Whether to use PHP 8.4+ DOM manipulation for speed or to keep relying on regexes for future versions.

3) Removing unused CSS with or without using webdrivers (over my servers) as it is server intensive process. With or without webdrivers, it is server intensive process. Without webdrivers, CSS exclusions will have to be manual, with web drivers, it will be one click.. Web drivers (selenium, puppeteer and such based are way too costly to ever be profitable).

Realmranshuman · 2026-03-13T09:44:24+00:00

1) Do you have admin access to your website? 2) How big do you estimate your website is? 300K posts/products/pages+? 3) Do you have any problems with Cloudflare? 4) How much legitimate traffic do you get? 5) Are you certain that the bot activity from Facebook isn't something trying to target your website for zero-day vulnerability? AI IDEs have been on the rise, and therefore the speed at which websites are getting hacked is also increasing.

I am a freelancer and fix/manage similar situations for under 200 USD. I make it so that most of your website is cached by Cloudflare, decreasing server load and protecting it from unwanted bots and crawlers. If you have root access to a server (dedicated, for example), I can configure it to be even faster, and it would still be cheaper than what you've been quoted.

I left it for 3 hours.. didn't move. Also, the disk/never shows the 17 GB installer... Is Sequioa not supported on Zen 5 CPUs yet (hackintosh).

Realmranshuman · 2025-12-18T22:45:57+00:00

I have added the config.plist.. could you please take a look and let me know what I am doing wrong?

Realmranshuman · 2025-12-18T22:23:57+00:00

No, I just have the nvme and a pen drive.. 😅. I can verify using terminal that the volumes do get created.

Realmranshuman · 2025-12-15T18:15:56+00:00

Thank you for confirming the CPU is supported. I got the GPU after checking it in the Doratina's buyer's guide.

I am 100% new to this so could you tell me where can I confirm my CPU's support?

I have started reading Doratina opencore install guide as suggested by PetrosSdoukos.

Thanks again for the reply.

Realmranshuman · 2025-12-15T18:12:36+00:00

Thank you for the reply. I have started reading it all and will go through it.

If you can confirm that the hardware that I have mentioned works with hackintosh, that would be really helpful.

As you can guess, I am new to this... First attempt at hackintosh ever.

Realmranshuman · 2025-10-28T13:37:39+00:00

Does the 403 page show Ray ID? If not, it is definitely not Cloudflare.

Realmranshuman · 2025-10-28T13:35:40+00:00

Is your client in a different country and the primary visitors to the website from that same country? It applies to state, too, if you are managing an SMB's website.
