Cache Warmer

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.

wp.org is where the directory puts the plugin for that search. On merit is where it would sit if results were ranked on rating, support and updates, without the install boost. The last column is how far the wp.org position moved, from our first reading in the last 90 days to the latest.

36 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 16 listed. 20 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 2 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Crossed into this band 23 months ago; a band this size takes about a year or more to cross, which places it about 90% of the way through.

   This plugin is a great concept and from other reviews appears to work well on small sites. However I reported an issue 6 weeks ago where the PHP error was getting hammered by this plugin (over 7gb in size) due to a huge query failing to cache-warmer-links-tree-leftovers in WP-Options It appears from other support requests the developer has abandoned this plugin as there has been no response on other support requests too. Shame as it could be a brilliant plugin if the core issues was fixed Summary, great for small sites – forget it it you’re running WooCommerce

   This is a really good helper plugin. Thanks so much for the development. The only thing that doesn’t work is the activation of the plugin in a XAMPP environment. I think I would have to dig deeper into the code, to see, what the error with XAMPP meant.. But anyways.. on my shared hosting it worked out of the box and is a very helpfull utility. If I find the time, maybe I’ll fork it 🙂 Thanks again for this masterpiece! Love it.

   Perfect plugin, not much to change. Litespeed Cache is pretty bad without this, and incredible when paired with this. Also, I like it much more than even the official Litespeed crawler.

   I have been looking for a plugin like this for a long time. With Redis full page caching, they are only added to the cache on first load and then dropped after 4 hours in the cache. This is a really nicely made plugin that will preload these files into cache at regular intervals. It’s an amazing plugin.

   I waisted so much time with other “top” plugins trying to fix preloading cache and then this plugin shows up and simply did the job. Masterful work! Thanks

   This is a well thought-out plugin. A notable feature is that the log shows these three headers: cf-cache-status, x-cache and X-WP-Super-Cache. Which means you’ll know at one glance the status of Cloudflare’s edge cache, httpd’s mod_cache disk cache, and, I suppose, the WP Super Cache plugin’s less efficient disk cache if that’s what you’re using.

   Thank you for this plugin. It is a lifesaver, when you need a reliable cache warming tool. In my installation the standard preload of WP Rocket didn’t work as expected. I tried to find a solution for months. Cache warmer now reliable preloads all given sitemaps in a defined interval.

   This plugin has dramatically helped my sites perform better and increase their speed and TTFB. Even with great hosting and really good caching setup (Cloudflare etc) you still have a speed issue when the pages of your site need to go to the cache for the first time. This plugin causes your site pages to be loaded into cache and hence visitors get a great experience. This plugin is even more useful for sites with smaller traffic as your caching solution needs refreshing regularly and you can set this plugin to refresh cache on a regular interval. The support has also been excellent as a plugin like this can have issues across many different hosting setups. Dale.
