Homepage not cached anymore by pre-load

Hey there,

I have been noticing for some time that the pre-load function has suddenly stopped caching the homepage of my site.

Could you share details about your current configuration?

Also, do you have logging enabled in Settings > WP Super Cache > Debug? Do you see any errors on the log file?

Speak soon!

Hi @dret42 –

Thanks for sharing that.

I’d recommend disabling Extra homepage checks. (Very occasionally stops homepage caching) (Recommended) to see if that fixes the issue.

Additionally, it looks like you have Autoptimize enabled. Could you temporarily disable that and try again if the above doesn’t fix the issue?

Let us know what you find out.

Hello @dret42:

I disabled the setting you indicated me but the problem persist:
homepage is not cached during pre-caching operation

As Autoptimize’s dev mentioned above – it appears the Autoptimize plugin should not conflict with WP Super Cache, but still, in order to make sure we are going ahead in the correct direction, could you please try to temporarily deactivate the Autoptimize plugin and check again?

Setting “0” at pre-load intervals, I expect the preload to never expire. But this does not happen and the cache is always cleared every 24 hours.

The preload is working correctly on the backend as per the number of times you have set, but on the frontend, it is showing the wrong time which looks confusing.

We already investigated this issue some days ago and found it to be a bug on our side. We have already started working on a fix. The release of the new version will probably happen soon.

Until then, you can set the preload time you want, and in the backend, it will work accordingly – the issue is only on the frontend.
