Issues trying to prime the page cache

    Hi all,

    I’m trying to write a PHP function that I can call through a cronjob in order to prime the W3 Total Cache Page Cache.

    This way I don’t have to rely on the WP-Cron.

    I’ve tried calling the URL’s of the website with cURL:

    $ch = curl_init();

curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url );
curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1 );
curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, 60 );
curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, true );
curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_NOBODY, true );
curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, "W3 Total Cache ( Auto-Cache Engine )" );

$result = curl_exec( $ch );

curl_close( $ch );

    and with file_get_contents( $url );

    Nothing seems to actually cache the pages. Does anybody have an idea on what I might be doing wrong here? Thanks!

    Willie,

    I’m pretty sure there’s been enough people now talking about how the priming of W3TC is far from OK for you guys to have implemented something better.

    Also I think I wasn’t doing anything wrong, I just had to adjust garbage collection settings and the prime settings in W3TC.

    I will however do a feature suggestion as you have asked.
