Fastly is serving the cached version of the page which is served to Googlebot to the users , How to separate the two versions ?
I have the Vary : User Agent , Accept Encoding set as headers , and shielding . But i see the same behavior

  Hi SS09,

  Varying on the above sounds like it would cause you some pain in CHR as it would vary on a lot of possible combinations.

  A good reference when using the Vary header is: https://www.fastly.com/lc/vary-header

  You could alternatively have a condition based around the User-Agent header to reply to the Googlebot differently, such as by causing a PASS. If that’s what you desire.

  I would recommend sending us a ticket to support@fastly.com with your Service ID so we can review the problem specifically. If you note this community post we can also give a general summary here on conclusion.
