Preload timing
-
Your settings and documentation refer to preload creating “N pages per minute” and preload runs by default every 5 minutes. But what I see happening is that “N pages” are created every time the wp_fastest_cache_Preload preload job runs. With the default timer of 5 minutes this means that “N pages are created every 5 minutes”.
This is just using different words to describe what is happening but I do find the “pages per minute” misleading, what do you think?
Now to my real problem…
If I manually delete the cache the preload cron job starts and a few cache pages are created every 5 minutes or so.
However, I have a nightly Timeout Rule that starts at 2am and automatically clears the cache. When that kicks off the preload cron job it does not regularly run at 5 minute intervals. Last night it ran at:
2.07
2.42
3.38
3.43
5.02
5.30
5.41
6.02which means it took 4 hours instead of under an hour.
Can you suggest a reason for this and how do I fix it?

Thanks for the explanation. So there is no difference between deleting manually and deleting with the Timeout Rule as both use wp_schedule_event?
yes, the preload starts working after clearing cache.
And preload will only run when there is user input which means at random intervals greater than 5 minutes?
yes.
In Clear Cache via URL you say “you can clear cache via cron job (type=clearcache)”. I presume that it will also kick off preload after deleting the cache, is that right?
Exactly.
And the final question: is there any difference between clearing the cache with a Timeout Rule and setting up a cron job to clear the cache (apart from being able to specify the times to run the cron)?
no, the preload starts working after clearing cache.
