Feature suggestion: "Cache it now" – button

  • No bug report, just a feature suggestion:

    Hi there,

    I have several wordpress sites where I am the only admin / editor, where there are no comments activated and no updates / new posts for weeks, sometimes months. In other words, not too much sudden change.

    Wouldn’t it be handy to have some kind of “Cache it now” – button for these kind of sites instead of the possibility to chose an automatic cache interval? So that I can press the button before I log out and know that your plugin will do its job until the next time I add or change something?

    Apart from this suggestion: Thanks a lot for this great plugin! I have for a long time been hesitant to install a cache plugin because I feared that they might cause big problems in a worst-case-scenario but with your plugin, I seem to have found one that is easy to use as well as easy to uninstall should even the worst kind of problems arise (see “EMERGENCY: If all else fails, how can I remove Quick Cache?” in your FAQ)

    Keep up the good work!

    Hi Thomas,

    Glad to hear you’re enjoying the plugin. ??

    Quick Cache Pro has a feature called the “Auto-Cache Engine” that does exactly what you describe. See a screenshot here.

    Hi Raam,

    thanks for getting back and shame on me for not having had a look at the pro-features before to check if this feature would be available there.

    Still, I don’t think the “Auto-Cache-Engine” is exactly what I was looking for. I was looking for a button who would delete all cached version of files, then create new cached version of all files and then do absolutely nothing until the next time I click it – no automatic expiration / creation.

    Many people probably wouldn’t care about this old-school non-automatic feature, but I’m just that that of guy ??

    Please allow me to ask another question to better understand how “Quick Cache” works:

    If I have the plugin enabled with static html files already created (“cached”) (because these certain pages have already been visited), then disable the plugin (not in the wordpress plugin overview but with the internal plugin enable / disable option), then enable it back again right away without changing anything else, will all cached files (which were available before) be deleted?

    It sounds like what you’re looking for is a static site generator, whereby Quick Cache generates a static cache of your entire site and leaves it there until you decide what to do with it. We actually have a Static Site Generator feature request open and I encourage you to add your voice over there to show your support for that feature: https://github.com/websharks/quick-cache/issues/309

    then enable it back again right away without changing anything else, will all cached files (which were available before) be deleted?

    Yes, they will be deleted. That is part of the Quick Cache routines, to ensure that a stale (out of date) cache file does not get served to a visitor. If you want, you can make a copy of wp-content/cache/quick-cache/cache/ after you’ve cached your site and move that copy somewhere outside of wp-content/cache/.

    Thread Starter It’s Thomas!

    Thanks for letting me know, Raam.

    No more questions for now. ??

    BTW: I have just posted my 5-star-rating & review of Quick Cache!

    Again, keep up the good work!
