However, when building shopping carts, user-specific dashboards, or secure API endpoints, these caching layers often ignore standard plugin-based exclusions. Relying on the SG Optimizer plugin’s GUI is frequently insufficient for complex URL structures involving wildcards or specific regex patterns. This guide provides a rigorous, code-first method to force NGINX to bypass caching for specific dynamic routes using Apache's  mod_headers  and  SetEnvIf  directives within  .htaccess . The Architecture: Why NGINX Ignores Your Code To fix the problem, we must understand the topology. SiteGround...
