Cache Not Auto Priming

    9 months, 1 week ago

    I am using the free plugin for W3 Total Cache on a development server without a domain name, ie http no SSL.

    I have the bare minimum of plugins including Yoast, W3, Advanced Custom Fields and Custom Post Type UI field editor

    All up to date, therefore Yoast sitemap which I am using, doesn’t have a priority column.

    Despite my settings, my W3 plugin does not appear to be auto priming the page cache:

    • WordPress on Nginx
    • Using disk enhanced for page cache,
    • Defining both a home sitemap_index and a post specific sitemap index, neither get primed unless I visit the page myself.
    • Only specifying one sitemap, as in above, either or.
    • I am expecting and checking to find the pages under /wp-content/cache/page_enhanced/{domain}/

    Am I right in assuming that either the Yoast sitemap, or the fact I am running a server ip without Https , is the cause here?

    Hello @mburdett555

    Thank you for reaching out and I am happy to help!

    The priming is done by the sitemap provided, however, you need to initiate the priming somehow, and it depends if the website has any trafic, because the priming perioed is handled by the wp-cron. You should confirm that the wp cron is not disabled.
    The first visit of the website initiates this and the priming stars from there. It depends on the settngs how many pages will be primied and in which preriod of time.

    Is there a chance you can share the website URL? You can also try using wp-cli
    wp w3-total-cache pgcache_prime [–start=<start>] [–limit=<limit>]

    Thanks!

    sorry looks like I had the update interval to a day mistaking this for the cache lifetime.

    having checked this, the run is now working properly and caching according to my requirements.

    Thanks
