Title: Autocaching Last modified: August 22, 2016 --- # Autocaching * Resolved [bert.beukema](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bertbeukema/) * (@bertbeukema) * [11 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/autocaching/) * Hey there, * I was wondering if this plugin will auto-cache the site. With that I mean that it will use a crawler to pre-generate the cache, instead of simply creating the cache when a real user is clicking a page in the site. * regards, * Bert * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/gator-cache/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/gator-cache/) Viewing 6 replies - 1 through 6 (of 6 total) * Plugin Author [GatorDog](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gatordog/) * (@gatordog) * [11 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/autocaching/#post-5248000) * If you’re asking “will a cache warmer work with Gator Cache”, the answer is “ Yes”. However, there is not a cache warmer built in to the plugin. The page in question will be recreated upon any page hit – be it a crawler/spider or actual visitor. * Thread Starter [bert.beukema](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bertbeukema/) * (@bertbeukema) * [11 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/autocaching/#post-5248042) * Hmmm, okay. Next question: do you know of a ‘cache warmer’ script that will play nicely with your plugin? * Regards, * Bert * [JibsouX](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jibsoux/) * (@jibsoux) * [11 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/autocaching/#post-5248219) * Cache warmer is useless i explain why : * without cache warmer : The first page that load by an visitor generate a page cache that is serve to all the next user * with cache warmer : the first user have already a page cache served * – * But the question is : if you set your plugin to don’t delete the cache periodically * cache warmer is simply used for serve that One and Only user the cache.. croon job and server load for nothing ! * cache warmer is usefull if you have a site with 10 000 visitors at the same time who want to view différents pages where the cache is not generated yet then 10 000 visitors load more the server than the croon job of the cache warmer * the best is to set the plugin to not delete the cache and anyway when a page/ post or else is updated or new the hompage cache and the rss and the page/post in question is cleared so cache warmer suck ^^ * The best config for simple configuration is Gator cache (prégénérated cache) Db cache reloaded fix (DB cache) Html minify ([https://github.com/cferdinandi/html-minify](https://github.com/cferdinandi/html-minify)) and if you want to push the thin a litle more better wordpress minify for js and css) * the add a good caching sequense in your htaccess. * voila ! * Plugin Author [GatorDog](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gatordog/) * (@gatordog) * [11 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/autocaching/#post-5248220) * Exactly, if you’re getting alot of traffic, you don’t need a cache warmer, the cache will be rebuilt almost instaneously upon user traffic. Not sure what your concern is here? * Thread Starter [bert.beukema](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bertbeukema/) * (@bertbeukema) * [11 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/autocaching/#post-5248221) * Hey, * we’re not getting enormous traffic, but we do get an enormous slowdown without cache. The problem with cache is that is also caches things like reviews on products( we’re using Woocommerce). So when we receive new reviews, they won’t show in the site (because it’s cached). Another problem is with some of our widgets ( such as the Simple Share buttons), which will go out of sync and then disappear from the site. These functions can’t be discovered by the caching module as no page / product / message / etc is actually updated within the system. * This is why we have to purge the cache every 8 hours or so, to ensure all data is displayed correctly. But, as traffic is not enormous anytime we purge the cache the site will become very slow to load. We’ve already had complaints about this from customers and it can be a valid reason for shoppers to simply leave the site (as it’s too slow for them). * As you can see, there is more then simply pages for which a cache warmer would be useful. Many caching engines have such a function, it’s easy to implement because it’s just a crawler. * Regards, * Bert * [JibsouX](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jibsoux/) * (@jibsoux) * [11 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/autocaching/#post-5248222) * Hey i have the same problem i wanted to cache the page but keep some content still dynamic and TADA : * [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/serve-via-ajax-some-content?replies=2#post-6111488](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/serve-via-ajax-some-content?replies=2#post-6111488) Viewing 6 replies - 1 through 6 (of 6 total) The topic ‘Autocaching’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://ps.w.org/gator-cache/assets/icon-128x128.png?rev=983272) * [Gator Cache](https://wordpress.org/plugins/gator-cache/) * [Frequently Asked Questions](https://wordpress.org/plugins/gator-cache/#faq) * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/gator-cache/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/gator-cache/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/gator-cache/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/gator-cache/reviews/) ## Tags * [automatic](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/automatic/) * [cache](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/cache/) * 6 replies * 3 participants * Last reply from: [JibsouX](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jibsoux/) * Last activity: [11 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/autocaching/#post-5248222) * Status: resolved
