Hey daniel tell me one thing. Suppose i’ve activated the super cache compression while my host doesn’t allow the Gzip compression on shared hosting. Then what will be the impact of this on blog performance?

I debugged this again this morning and found the following:

1. The redirect was broken only when the visitor was logged in or had the WordPress Test Cookie. I presume the same applies to the comment cookies.
2. When I removed all cookies for my site and visited the blog with an extra index.php the blog redirected me to the correct url, whether in a post or on the front page.

Google’s bot doesn’t carry cookies with it so it will redirect and there’s nothing to worry about. Also, Google is fairly smart. index.php is a common directory index file and anyway, the new canonical meta tag will tell the bot what a page’s url is supposed to be.

I’m not worried about this. It’s a minor problem.

Btw It happened to one of my blogs, removing “index\.php” from the list of not to be cached does help… After removing /index.php automatically redirects to / well

“I use Super Cache and it looks like the redirect is working correctly.” – Same here.

If you experience this problem (or any other, and you've read the readme.txt for tips and hints), go to the forum please. The comments section on a blog post (even on dailyblogtips.com) isn't the best place in the world to debug a problem. Having said, download the latest version and try the new debug function. The log it generates may point towards a bug. I don't know why this happens at all but it doesn't happen on many blogs (when you consider the thousands of blogs running the plugin)
