The VIP edge cache respects the vary: X-Country-Code response header, making it possible to deliver variations of cached content based on an end user’s global location.

When receiving a request for a URL, the page cache considers the entirety of the URL, including GET parameters. As a result, the page cache will identify example.com/?a=1&b=1 as different from example.com?b=1&a=1 and cache each variant separately. This caching behavior provides a more scalable method for serving variations of a page to specific user groups.
Users have access to the VIP Dashboard after they have been invited to an organization with an assigned Org role. Invitations are created based on a user’s email address, and a user’s email address can be invited to the VIP Dashboard by more than one organization. Once a user has logged in to the VIP Dashboard with multi-factor authentication for that email address, they can switch their VIP Dashboard to any of the organizations to which they belong from the “My Organizations” view.
The Plugins panel in the VIP Dashboard displays a list of plugins that are located in the /plugins directory of a WordPress environment’s wpcomvip GitHub repository branch.
