Hello, I have a wordpress website and want to enable caching. My  
configuration below is working if no pretty url E.g.

> **[Website Domain Names, Online Stores & Hosting](https://www.domain.com/?page_id=2)**
>
> Finding the perfect website domain is as easy as 1-2-3. Buy a domain name, build and host a website, and enjoy our professional online marketing tools.

But when I use pretty url, the cache doesnt work: E.g.  
[http://domain.com/sample-page](http://domain.com/sample-page)

But the pages displays correctly for both cases.

Thank you
