    Hi!

    Could someone with knowledge of the plugin’s inner working explain to me the meaning of the setting “Page Cache” > “Prime the cache” > “Update interval”?

    Is the page cache invalidated after this timespan and a new set of cached pages is created?

    Or is it the interval between batches of pages are peloaded until the cache is full (and only expires when posts are created / page cache is emptied manually)?

    Thanks!

    Hello,

    As you can see in the description in your WP Dashboard for Update Interval “The number of seconds to wait before creating another set of cached pages.”
    So you can increase or decrease the time when the new set of cached pages are created.

    Thanks, so you can confirm that it works like in my first assumption?

    “new set of pages” === all URLs specified in the sitemap
    &&
    “new set of pages” != a batch of pages (set via ‘Pages per interval’)

    Hi @skarack … Just to clarify things for you

    Sitemap url: Will cache all of the urls found here. This is required.

    Update Interval: w3tc will sleep for the specific xx secs you give here before waking up and looking to cache another chunk (batch) of urls found in the sitemap. When it actually wakes up depends how u’ve configured WP. Meaning, it depends on if you are using the system cron or wp-cron

    Pages Per Interval: How many urls for each batch cache. Meaning, when w3tc wakes up to do s’more caching this is the total # of urls it should cache before going back to sleep.

    PS. bonus points for using “===” in your reply ;P
