Would it be possible to do a remote GET on a new post before purging the main page cache? This would avoid a cache miss storm when populating the cache for a new post.

You can use fastcgi_cache_use_stale directive in nginx config. I think that should take care of cache miss storm

If you think something should be done on plugin side, please provide more details. I may add it in our http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/nginx-helper/ plugin.

Assume that we are currently typing up a post titled “New post” which will be available at the direct link http://domain.com/new-post. When the post is submitted, the plugin could take the following steps:

1- Issue a GET request for http://domain.com/new-post
2- Purge the cache for http://domain.com/
3- Issue a GET request for http://domain.com/

That way, by the time users see the new post and click on it, the cache will be populated.

Got it. You are asking for a new feature where plugin will send a GET request so the first visitor to new post will get a cached copy. Right?
