We put our Magento site on Sucuri and it is much slower than running it off our own server. Looking further, we notice that Apache is sending two Vary: Accept-Encoding headers and, as per Sucuri support, these duplicate headers are preventing the site from being cached properly by Sucuri CDN.

Here’s the curl output:

curl -IL https://domain.com

I have gone nuts trying to figure out why these duplicate headers are occurring. I removed moddeflate and modexpires <IfModule> declarations from the Apache vhost and Magento’s .htaccess but the duplicate headers are still showing up.

I would greatly appreciate any pointers towards fixing this. Thanks in advance.
