 Hey there,

 Thanks for your report and welcome to Trac!

 I assume you refer to the WordPress Android app?

 From what I can see, both of your sites are behind Cloudflare, which seems
 to return these response as `text/html` instead of `application/json`. So
 you probably just need to adjust your caching rules there to not cache
 everything under `wp-json`.

 Because when I access something like https://thelonelycyclist.org/wp-
 json/?foo, Cloudflare bypasses the cache because of the query parameter
 and properly serves `application/json`.
