Title: Preload Last modified: August 21, 2016 --- # Preload * [bradenmikael](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bradenmikael/) * (@bradenmikael) * [12 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/preload/) * I have the latest version of WP SuperCache installed. I have Preload mode enabled, and garbage collection turned off using the number zero as instructed in the garbage collection settings. I don’t change my site much, and for whatever reason, whenever I initiate a preload, Supercache then deletes all of the preloaded files within the hour. Why? I don’t want the Super cached files to be deleted. How can I stop this from happening? * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-super-cache/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-super-cache/) Viewing 13 replies - 1 through 13 (of 13 total) * [maraki](https://wordpress.org/support/users/neodjandre/) * (@neodjandre) * [12 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/preload/#post-4762483) * i have exactly the same problem… please someone help.. * Thread Starter [bradenmikael](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bradenmikael/) * (@bradenmikael) * [12 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/preload/#post-4762484) * I figured out my problem. I was running WPTouch and for some reason, it wasn’t working properly with WP Super Cache (even though I had it set to work with it by populating the UA strings and ticking the proper box in the plugins box). After getting rid of WPTouch, it worked fine after I reset WP Super Cache to the default settings and re-applied my own settings. * [dark-news](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dark-news/) * (@dark-news) * [12 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/preload/#post-4762492) * I have the problem that the preloaded cache is always deleted. And i get an email that the preloading was cancelled. * [TrentSterling](https://wordpress.org/support/users/trentsterling/) * (@trentsterling) * [12 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/preload/#post-4762496) * Is that what’s going on? Preload wipes all the cache each time it starts up? * I’ve suffered from slow and stalling reloads on a wordpress with less than 100 pages. The preload system seems so slow, and I figured it was my box. * However, I found that disabling garbage collection and disabling preload finally let me keep my cache files in place. * I run a nearly static website. I only blog about once a month or so. I don’t need updates any more often than I update the site! * So I’ve found that [http://www.deadlinkchecker.com/](http://www.deadlinkchecker.com/) can crawl my site, check all links, and essentially preload the cache for me! And it’s very fast! Much faster than the preload system. Why is that!? * [TrentSterling](https://wordpress.org/support/users/trentsterling/) * (@trentsterling) * [12 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/preload/#post-4762499) * I should mention that cache files still seem to be wiped randomly, even though garbage collection is set to 0 and preload is set to 0 with all checkboxes removed. * What’s causing cache files to get wiped out? * Thread Starter [bradenmikael](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bradenmikael/) * (@bradenmikael) * [12 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/preload/#post-4762501) * Trent, do you have WPTouch installed? That’s what was causing problems for me. * [maraki](https://wordpress.org/support/users/neodjandre/) * (@neodjandre) * [12 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/preload/#post-4762502) * I don’t have WPTouch and I agree with what TrentSterling has said. I have tried setting garbage collection to 0 and preload to 0 as well. * Still the preload cache gets wiped out. * [TrentSterling](https://wordpress.org/support/users/trentsterling/) * (@trentsterling) * [12 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/preload/#post-4762503) * I don’t have WP Touch. I’m also near vanilla at the moment. The worst part is that I can’t seem to track when the cache gets wiped. It takes me a day or two to see the numbers drop to 0. * I’ve been experimenting with everything off and on, uninstalling and re-installing the plugin. The only thing I haven’t tried is a fresh WP install. * Also, what does it mean when only the WP-Super-Cache is wiped, but the WP cache stays full? I’ve seen that happen too. The debugging log is a bit too verbose for me to figure it out on my own. It’s also really hard to replicate. * Time will tell. * [TrentSterling](https://wordpress.org/support/users/trentsterling/) * (@trentsterling) * [12 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/preload/#post-4762504) * EDIT: Ugh, there is an edit button! * Anyway, hosting is with GoDaddy, and I can post whatever stats you might consider useful. * The reason I mention GoDaddy is because I hear there’s a limit on the number of files you can have- and cache’d html would eat at that limit. * But looking in the cache folder, there’s only a few hundred files. I can’t imagine that’d be it. * [maraki](https://wordpress.org/support/users/neodjandre/) * (@neodjandre) * [12 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/preload/#post-4762505) * I am on a dedicated server with unlimited file storage. I don’t think this is a GoDaddy issue. It must have something to do with the WP Super cache plugin settings or another plugin conflict? * [jt70](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jt70/) * (@jt70) * [12 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/preload/#post-4762516) * I’ve been having a similar problem. My entire cache clears whenever i publish or update a post, or when a comment gets moved between folders (i.e. approved, or automatically moved as spam). I set the comments to logged in users only so that issue of automatic movement of spam comments went away nearly completely. The cache would clear every few minutes before I changed the comment setting because of the number of spam comments. Now it just wipes when I approve comments or change a post. Still not perfect, but at least now it is predictable for me, and far less frequent. Can anyone else confirm/test that they are seeing something similar as to the cause of the cache being deleted? * [maraki](https://wordpress.org/support/users/neodjandre/) * (@neodjandre) * [12 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/preload/#post-4762517) * jt70 thank you for posting this. I am looking for a plugin which will completely disable comments and pingbacks on all of my posts/pages/custom post types in order to test this assumption which appears plausible. * I haven’t noticed the cache clearing when I update posts but I have a lot of spam comments on Akismet. * [jt70](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jt70/) * (@jt70) * [12 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/preload/#post-4762518) * Maraki, I went through the same thing–the trackbacks on old posts were getting me even though I turned it off. I can’t recall exactly what I did, but I think I found a script to run in my database to change the old posts to have them closed to trackbacks and pings. I don’t think I used a plugin. Glad you aren’t having the problem with the posts too. I can’t figure out a workaround for it.
