• There are a couple of issues with the way caching is implemented in this plugin.

    1) There is no way to clear cached pages. This feature would make the next issue less important.

    2) The TTL on the cache is set when each page is cached. Subsequently changing the duration of the cache does not affect previously retrieved items.

    Use case: Scraping a page, discovering an error on the scraped page, fixing the error on the scraped page, then re-scraping the page.

    Currently there exists no way to re-scrape the page other than waiting for the cache, as it was when the page was originally scraped, to expire.
