How to prevent error pages with status code 500 from being cached

[serpent_driver]

Is there any known method to prevent error pages with status code 500 from being cached? Expressions to use them in .htaccess would do that, but are unsupported by LSWS. So what could help?

500 error is most likely faulty .haccess , faulty php.ini or faulty PHP code. You will need to fix it first otherwise it will still return 500 even without purging cache. After you fixed the 500, you can purge the cache and it won't happen again. 500 is not like 503, you will have to fix it first.

Yes, I know, but Error 500 is only an example for all other != 200 status codes. What about 400, 401, 410, 30x?

should be handled by the cache plugin side. cache plugin developer can decide to cache such page or don't cache such page. Preventing error page from cache is not a universal goal. Some error code code are intentionally cached by the developer to reduce the server load.

For example LSCWP, intentionally added cache for 403, 404, 500s. It is up to the cache plugin developer to evaluate.

• [NEW] Added error page caching. Currently supports 403, 404, 500s.

Yes, but there are not only cache plugins made by LiteSpeed. The world is greater than Wordpress and LSCWP. That's why I can't agree your philosophy about what should be cached or not.

Preventing error page from cache is not a universal goal.

Of course, it has to be a goal. There are more arguments not to cache pages that have no status 200 than to cache pages that have no status code 200.

Some error code code are intentionally cached by the developer to reduce the server load.

Again, there is no really reason why error pages should be cached. Reducing server load is not an argument. Caching pages without status 200 generates only junk and forces often re-caching to keep website content up to date.

My wislist for the future:

Either:

SetEnvIfExpr "%{REQUEST_STATUS} != 200" - [E=cache-control:no-cache]

Or:

Header set X-LiteSpeed-Cache-Control "no-cache"  "expr=%{REQUEST_STATUS} != 200"

FYI: I solved it. Not 100 percent perfect, but almost.

You may see an error on any web resource, browser, or device. It is not due to a lack of Internet connection, outdated operating system, or browser version. Also, the error does not indicate that the site does not exist or is no longer available. Error 500 means the server can not process a request to the site whose page you are on. The browser cannot tell you exactly what went wrong. I have not encountered such an error because I only go to the https://linebetappdownload.com site. If the error appears on your site, you must fix it as soon as possible.

The browser cannot tell you exactly what went wrong.

Exactly, but this topic is about to prevent caching of error 500 by LScache.

These tips don't work on any page, because the topic isn't about influencing the browser cache behavior, but the server-side cache. Cache-Control is not x-litespeed-cache-control!

To prevent error pages with a status code 500 from being cached, follow these steps. First, ensure that your web server is configured to send appropriate cache-control headers for error responses. Specifically, set "Cache-Control: no-store, no-cache" and "Pragma: no-cache" headers. This instructs browsers and caches not to store or serve cached copies of these error pages. Additionally, you can customize error pages to include cache-control headers, or use server-side scripting to add cache-control headers specifically for error responses. By implementing these measures, you can ensure that error pages with a status code 500 are not cached, providing a better user experience.
