ok, i understand why the entire cache needs to be cleared at any change, because even the smallest change may changes the menus and other things, so everything needs to be refreshed.
the problem is that preload mode is not working, i have a medium traffic site and is not very helpful to wait for the cache to rebuild by the visitors, so preload mode is essential and i am wondering how it works for anybody else and not for me!!
i tried some other plugins but this one looks better for me overall, so i ll stick with this, just hope to get some help.
Could you say more about how it is not working? What settings do you have it set to for preloading?
simple, when i press preload Cache now, it says that a preload schedule will start in 10 seconds, but nothing happen ever.
monitoring in “contents” and also in cache directory with ftp, where no files are generated.
settings are as everybody`s
cache on at easy tab
use mod_rewrite on advanced etc..its nothing exotic there to miss..
on preload tab all preload mode are checked and the time is set to 120 min.
meanwhile this happened to me an hour ago:
A category page is showing instead of my homepage
A tiny proportion of websites will have problems with the following configuration:
Uses a static page for the front page.
Uses /%category%/%postname%/ permalink structure.
Sometimes a category page is cached as the homepage of the site instead of the static page. I can’t replicate the problem but a simple solution is to switch the plugin to PHP mode. For normal traffic you will see no difference in the speed of your site. You can also enable “Extra homepage checks” on the Advanced Settings page.
so i removed it because i spend two days now by building cache, as with every little change on a post the whole cache vanishes…this is normal but i had enough..
I stopped using preload and instead:
In advanced settings > Expiry Time & Garbage Collection
Cache Timeout: 432000 seconds
Scheduler Interval: Once Daily
Individual pages expire after 1 week and are re-cached when a visitor lands. Over time you’ll have a full cache and be refreshing a only few pages, at most, each day.
It works much better and places much less load on your server
thanks, sounds good.
i followed your advice.
Cache Timeout: 604800 seconds
Scheduler Interval: Once Daily
and disabled preload
also switched to PHP mode as i had the problem with my home page, a category page was cached instead of my static home page.
(a week is 604800 secs)
it works fine, no need really for preload, but i still wonder why preload does not work for many people.
Interesting, I seem to be having the same pre load issue as I detailed here: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/preloading-not-working?replies=1
CentOS 7
Nginx 1.8.0
PHP 5.6.8
What are you using? Perhaps this information may help us get to the bottom of it.
