SSL added. Now W3 Total Cache redirects pages to the cache _index.html_gzip file

I have a WordPress website with the W3 Total Cache plugin.

I added SSL to my site and added a redirect in my .htaccess file

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]]

But whenever I test a redirect, for example, http://www.rankhigherseo.com.au/about-us/ it redirects to https://rankhigherseo.com.au/wp-content/cache/page_enhanced/rankhigherseo.com.au//about-us//_index.html_gzip

I played with the settings and it now redirects to https://rankhigherseo.com.au/about-us/ but the page is still loading the one that is displayed on https://rankhigherseo.com.au/wp-content/cache/page_enhanced/rankhigherseo.com.au//about-us//_index.html_gzip.

I cant find any solution to this problem.

What exactly do I need to do when I add SSL to the site to have w3 total cache still work normally?

Thanks to Rob for giving some direction to find a solution.

You can find the check box for Cache SSL (https) requests under Page Cache - among a zillion other W3 Total Cache settings.

Once you're done, be sure the clear your cache, otherwise the fix may not take immediately for your site visitors.

Found the solution by going into the w3 total cache settings and checking 'Cache SSL (https) requests'
