CSS not loading sometimes

Describe the bug

Sometimes the CSS doesn't load. It appears this is because in a multi-pod environment the cached CSS file isn't present on all pods and thus sometimes it doesn't load the cached CSS. See WP Rocket load balance docs, which is essentially what multi-pod environments are.

We can define a custom cache location which we could put in wp-stateless and then serve the cached version out of stateless all the time which would be available to all pods in a network.

@kevindherman Check in with the customer now as this may be solved since WP Rocket no longer wants to concatenate all the CSS/JS thus it shouldn't be present only on a single pod in the cache folder.

@curtismchale the customer is Franklin and part of https://github.com/proudcity/pc-dev-issues/issues/1

Did they get the update?

[curtismchale]

@kevindherman yes they have had the update since late last week when I manually pushed the update.

[kevindherman]

Cool.

I'll followup.

@curtismchale I think we can close this until reports come back of it being broken.
