How to Check if Mamba is Caching Your Site

Once Mamba is installed and caching is enabled, you may want to confirm that pages are indeed being served from cache. There are two simple ways to check:


1. Check the Cache Folder

Mamba stores cached pages as static files on your server.

  • Log in to your server via FTP or File Manager.
  • Navigate to:
wp-content/cache/mamba/
  • Inside, you’ll see folders and files corresponding to your shop, products, categories, and other cached URLs.
  • If files are being created here, it means Mamba’s page cache is working.

2. Check the Response Headers

Mamba also adds custom headers to cached responses.

  • Open your site in Chrome (or any browser).
  • Right-click and choose Inspect → Network tab.
  • Reload the page and click on the main document request (usually your domain URL).
  • Under Headers, look for the following:
x-mamba-cache: HIT

This means the page was served directly from Mamba’s cache.

Other possible values:

  • x-mamba-cache: MISS → The page was generated freshly (but will be cached for the next request).
  • x-mamba-cache: BYPASS → The page was intentionally excluded (e.g., cart, checkout, or logged-in user).

✅ If you see cache files in the folder and x-mamba-cache: HIT in the response headers, Mamba caching is working correctly.
