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 mod_deflate and mod_expires <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.

This question was answered by @cloudnine:
Just figured out the answer, finally! Magento’s .htaccess had this additional <IfModule> declaration that was causing the second Vary: Accept-Encoding header:
<IfModule mod_mime.c> AddEncoding gzip svgz </IfModule>Commenting it out did the trick.
