Hello,
I’m developing a website based on wordpress with a paywall. The authentication comes from an external service that tells me some information about the user. That means also that I don’t use WP users for that purpose.
The client wants to move the site on kinsta, but I remember that the caching is very “intrusive” and are in place some exceptions but only for woocommerce. It’s possible to ask for a custom cookie to bypass the page-level caching? For example, if the request has custom\_login\_cookie set, then the page-level caching is ignored.
Thank you,

Hi @llago 👋 Welcome to the Kinsta Community!
We’re happy to help. If you need to bypass our page cache based on a specific cookie, we’ve got you covered with a custom NGinx rule. You can get in touch with our Support team to get the Nginx custom rule set up on your website. 👍
