Hi @Fl0r14n , thanks for reaching out. Disabling the cache in the browser will ONLY delete the local copy, but it won't make any effect on the server cache. The reason is that caches are not always tied to specific users and are expected to be shared. Please see: https://github.com/BackendStack21/http-cache-middleware#invalidating-caches

if (req.cacheDisabled) return next() does works as expected, please make sure that you are setting the attribute before the request reaches the middleware.

Regards
