# Cache buildup

 * Hi,
    Just installed cache enabler plugin (a couple of hours ago).
 * Followed instructions as in page “[https://www.keycdn.com/support/wordpress-cache-enabler-plugin/&#8221](https://www.keycdn.com/support/wordpress-cache-enabler-plugin/&#8221);.
 * Did a page speed test with GTmetrix before and after plugin installation, but
   I’m having the same page speed scores as before (no improvement….).
 * Checked cache folder (wp-content/cache/cache-enabler) and I see only a few html
   files being created… is that normal behaviour?
    How much time it takes to build
   up cache for the whole website? (about 200 pages)
 * Thanks for any advice!
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fcache-buildup%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * The cache gets created when a user accesses the page. Therefore, not every page
   will be cached automatically. You’ll need to ensure that the page you want to
   test is first cached and then test the site to see the difference in load times.

 * Hmmm, I’ve installed and refreshed my page multiple times with a full local cache
   clear (Chrome dev) and it’s still showing “Current cache size: Empty”
 * Cache expiry is set to 0. All cache behaviors are unchecked. I have no exclusions
   and minification is turned off as I am using Autoptimize.

 * Are you accessing the website while logged out? The cache will only build for
   visitors who aren’t logged in.

 * Hi Cody,
 * I noticed the thread that mentioned that. It is building, but, it’s building 
   pretty slowly. How is the cache built up? I’ve gone through each page while logged
   out and the cache was saying there was about 200kb in it. Going through 6 pages
   on the site, you would think there would be more than 200kb cached.
 * Btw, I bought the optimus HQ license so images are getting converted to webp.
   Does that introduce a noticable delay in building the cache pages, both regular
   and compressed?

 * The cache should be built for a page as soon as you access it when logged out.
   You can verify this by checking the HTML of your page and looking for the <– 
   Cache Enabler –> comment. If that comment is present, Cache Enabler is delivering
   the cached file for that page.
 * You can also check your file system under wp-content/cache/cache-enabler to see
   which pages are currently cached.

 * Hey Cody,
 * Thanks for the answer.
 * I have another question that I’ll post separately.
