Check for last cache purge?

    Is there a way to check when the last time was that a page or post was purged from the cache?

    There’s a Cache Purge Log in the Pro version, but that’s way too detailed for my purposes. I just need to know whether or not any page was purged from the cache in, for example, the last 15 minutes. Ideally I would like to be able to see which URLs were purged, but that’s probably not an option.

    Right now a crawler goes through the whole site every 15 minutes, making sure the Page Enhanced cache is always fully loaded (or at least never more than 15 minutes behind). This wastes quite a bit of CPU because the site may only be updated a few times per day, so the crawler often runs unnecessarily.

    If I could see which URLs were purged recently, I could selectively crawl only those URLs. Alternatively, if I could see when the last time was that any page was purged from the cache, I could use that information to only run the crawler after that event, rather than every 15 minutes.

    Hello @robzy

    Thank you for reaching out!

    I understand your point, however, the only way to check this is to use Purge Log for Page cache and this is precisely why this option was added in the W3 Total Cache.

    There you will also see which URL’s/posts are purged and what called the Cache purge.

    Thanks!
