Performance with thousands of pages

    Hi guys

    I’m a developer and I’m interested in using this plugin on client sites (with KeyCDN).

    From the description, it appears the plugin works as a static site generator (generating HTML files for each page which are served from the CDN).

    I have a client with over 100 000 pages and posts. Will that cause a problem with performance when global elements like the footer, header etc are changed and my client saves those changes? Won’t the entire site needs to be rebuilt and 100 000 HTML files need to be recreated?

    It’d be great to get a better understanding of how the html file generation works.

    Thanks!

    Cache Enabler will create static HTML files of WordPress pages and deliver those upon request. There is not a feature that creates these files automatically for the entire site, like an actual static site generator (e.g. Hugo).

    For a static HTML file to be created a request must be made. That request and the plugin settings will define what cache version is actually created. That means natural traffic flow will cache what is necessary. The cache is automatically cleared, either partially or completely, based on actions of the website. It can be manually cleared from the dashboard or command line.

    If you’re wanting all of your pages to be cached automatically then I’d recommend taking a look at what has been mentioned in issue #182 over on GitHub.
