OMG Is This My Problem? :S

Hey. I have been ranking less day by day. Google used to cache me withing seconds and now they do it like every 4 days.

While searching around for SEO e found a tool to check my headers and i found this lines:

Cache-Control: no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0
Pragma: no-cache

What is this? How is it there?
I run 6 more sites in the same server with the same wordpress theme and they dont display that. How can i remove it? Any ideas what is it about?

 

Part 2:

Example of the header checks of most of my sites:

Response Code: HTTP/1.1 200

Example of the one getting less caches:

How come is this possible that just this last one is the one showing more lines if i display the same ads, themes and are in the same dedicated server?

 

i think ive found my problem. This site says it had the same problem and rank drops that i also experienced. We both use a plugin in the site (and i just use it in the site with the problem) so i guess it was it.

Problem #2? I deactivated the plugin and http headers stay the same.. should i probably restart apache? :S

 

I wouldn't restart Apache just yet. My question is what plugin were you using that caused this problem?

 

I have no idea. Probably WP Super Cache or Crawl Rate Tracker since This Site says it had the same kind of problems.

I tried to update to the latest version of wordpress. Problem presists.
Do you know what Wp core file has this values so i can reupload with a clean one? :S

 

Looks like Crawl Rate. What I'd do is deactivate WP-Cache and then re-activate and see what happens. But definately get rid of the tracker program - it's not even compatible with WordPress 2.5.x.

 

i did. I unistalled Crawl Rate, deleted its files, tried to unnistall and install Wpcache and stills the same.
Thats why i even updated my wordpress. But stills the same problem. And i think that Pragma: No-cache is what is making google to crawl me less and drop ranks

 

Ok, check your .htaccess files then. Make sure there's nothing in there that could be causing this (I doubt it though).

 

i did check. Everything is clean. thats why im really worried. And my other websites that are at the same server are clean of this problem.

I just wonder what is the core file of wordpress that has the "headers" value . So i could replace with a clean file.

 

any ideas? i cant fix it :S

 

Why are you setting a PHP Session ID on the site?

 

i have no idea. should i reinstall wordpress ? like a clean install? :S

 

That might be a good idea. Make sure you back up your database first so that if it doesn't work, you still have your content.

 

i found it. it was taragana translator. U think i should deactivate it? I mean is it bad for my rankings to have that pragma no cache? I heard in some google forums that google "doesnt like" pages with that anymore and refused to cache them that often

 

Yeah, I'd deactivate it. If only to see if your rankings start to return to normal.
