This article provides a fix for Fastly caching not working on your site. Fastly is a CDN and caching service included with Adobe Commerce on cloud infrastructure plans and implementations. To verify the Fastly extension is working or to debug the Fastly extension, you can use the curl command to display certain response headers. The values of these response headers indicate whether or not Fastly is enabled and functioning properly. You can further investigate issues based on the values of headers and caching behavior.

This information helps you verify and test Fastly headers for your live site and origin servers.

Affected versions

Adobe Commerce on cloud infrastructure
Fastly 1.2.27 and later

Issue

Caching may not be working for your live site, Production, or Staging environments.

Cause

Typically, configurations, incorrect credentials, or unsupported Adobe Commerce extensions are the issue for Fastly caching not working. If you set up Fastly incorrectly, or use an unsupported extension that strips headers, Fastly caching won’t work.

Test with commands and check response headers

Test with dig command

First, check for headers with a dig command to the URL. In a terminal application, enter dig <url> to verify Fastly services display in the headers. For additional dig tests, see Fastly’s Testing before changing DNS.

For example:

Live site: dig http[s]://<your domain>
Staging: dig http[s]://staging.<your domain>.c.<instanceid>.ent.magento.cloud
Production: dig http[s]://<your domain>.{1|2|3}.<project ID>.ent.magento.cloud

Test with curl command

Next, use a curl command to verify X-Magento-Tags exist and additional header information. The command format differs for Staging and Production.

For more information on these commands, you bypass Fastly when you inject -H "host:URL", replace with origin to connecting location (CNAME information from your OneDrive Spreadsheet), -k ignores SSL, and -v provides verbose responses. If headers display correctly, check the live site and verify headers again.

If header issues occur when directly hitting the origin servers bypassing Fastly, you may have issues in your code, with extensions, or with the infrastructure.
If you encounter no errors directly hitting the origin servers, but headers are missing hitting the live domain through Fastly, you may have Fastly errors.

First, check your live site to verify the response headers. The command goes through the Fastly extension to receive responses. If you don’t receive the correct headers, then you should test the origin servers directly. This command returns the values of the Fastly-Magento-VCL-Uploaded and X-Cache headers.

In a terminal, enter the following command to test your live site URL:

code language-none
`curl http://<live URL> -vo /dev/null -HFastly-Debug:1 [--resolve]`

Use --resolve only if your live URL isn’t set up with DNS and you don’t have a static route set. For example:

code language-none
`curl http://www.mymagento.biz -vo /dev/null -HFastly-Debug:1`

Verify the response headers to ensure Fastly is working. The output for this command is similar to curl Staging and Production. For example, you should see the returned unique headers by this command:

code language-none
`< Fastly-Magento-VCL-Uploaded: yes < X-Cache: HIT, MISS`

To test Staging :

curl http[s]://staging.<your domain>.c.<instanceid>.ent.magento.cloud -H "host: <url>" -k -vo /dev/null -HFastly-Debug:1

To test Production load balancer :

curl http[s]://<your domain>.c.<project ID>.ent.magento.cloud -H "host: <url>" -k -vo /dev/null -HFastly-Debug:1

To test Production Origin node :

curl http[s]://<your domain>.{1|2|3}.<project ID>.ent.magento.cloud -H "host: <url>" -k -vo /dev/null -HFastly-Debug:1

A direct Origin node:

curl http[s]://<your domain>.{1|2|3}.<project ID>.ent.magento.cloud -H "host: <url>" -k -vo /dev/null -HFastly-Debug:1

For example, if you have a public URL www.mymagento.biz, enter a command similar to the following to test the production site:

curl -k https://www.mymagento.biz.c.sv7gVom4qrpek.ent.magento.cloud -H 'Host: www.mymagento.biz' -vo /dev/null -HFastly-Debug:1

Check response headers

Check the returned response headers and values:
Fastly-Magento-VCL-Uploaded should be present
X-Magento-Tags should be returned
Fastly-Module-Enabled should be either Yes or the Fastly extension version number
X-Cache should be either HIT or HIT, HIT
x-cache-hits should be 1,1
Cache-Control: max-age should be greater than 0
Pragma should be cache

The following example shows the correct values for Pragma, X-Magento-Tags, and Fastly-Module-Enabled.

The output for curl commands can be lengthy. The following is a summary only:

Resolve

Fastly-Module-Enabled is not present

If you don’t receive a “yes” for the Fastly-Module-Enabled in the response headers, you need to verify the Fasty module is installed and selected.

To verify Fastly is enabled in Staging and Production, check the configuration in the Commerce Admin for each environment:

Log into the Admin console for Staging and Production using the URL with /admin (or the changed Admin URL).
Navigate to Stores > Configuration > Advanced > System. Scroll and click Full Page Cache.
Ensure Fastly CDN is selected.
Click on Fastly Configuration. Ensure the Fastly Service ID and Fastly API token are entered (your Fastly credentials). Verify you have the correct credentials entered for the Staging and Production environment. Click Test credentials to help.

Edit your composer.json and ensure the Fasty module is included with version. This file has all modules listed with versions.

In the “require” section, you should have “fastly/magento2”: <version number>
In the “repositories” section, you should have:

code language-none
`"fastly-magento2": { "type": "vcs", "url": "https://github.com/fastly/fastly-magento2.git" }`

If you use Configuration Management, you should have a configuration file. Edit the app/etc/config.app.php (2.0, 2.1) or app/etc/config.php (2.2) file and make sure the setting 'Fastly_Cdn' => 1 is correct. The setting should not be 'Fastly_Cdn' => 0 (meaning disabled).If you enabled Fastly, delete the configuration file and run the bin/magento magento-cloud:scd-dump command to update. For a walk-through of this file, see Example of managing system-specific settings in the Configuration Guide.

If the module is not installed, you need to install in an Integration environment branch and deployed to Staging and Production. See Set up Fastly for instructions in the Commerce on Cloud Infrastructure Guide.

Fastly-Magento-VCL-Uploaded is not present

During installation and configuration, you should have uploaded the Fastly VCL. These are the base VCL snippets provided by the Fastly module, not custom VCL snippets you create. For instructions, see Upload Fastly VCL snippets in the Commerce on Cloud Infrastructure Guide.

X-Cache includes MISS

If X-Cache is either HIT, MISS or MISS, MISS, enter the same curl command again to make sure the page wasn’t recently evicted from the cache.

If you get the same result, use the curl commands and verify the response headers:

Pragma is cache
X-Magento-Tags exists
Cache-Control: max-age is greater than 0

If the issue persists, another extension is likely resetting these headers. Repeat the following procedure in Staging to disable extensions to find which one is causing the issue. After you locate the extension(s) that is causing the issue, you will need to disable the extension(s) in Production.

To disable the extensions, follow the steps given in Manage Extensions section of Commerce on Cloud Infrastructure guide.
After disabling the extensions, go to System > Tools > Cache Management.
Click Flush Magento Cache.
Now enable one extension at a time, saving the configuration and flushing the cache.
Try the curl commands and verify the response headers.
Repeat steps 4 and 5 to enable and test the curl commands. When the Fastly headers no longer display, you have found the extension causing issues with Fastly.

When you isolate the extension that is resetting Fastly headers, contact the extension developer for additional assistance. We cannot provide fixes or updates for third-party extension developers to work with Fastly caching.
