Cache Warmer in comparison to LiteSpeed Cache Crawler

    Hi,

    I am currently using LiteSpeed Cache plugin and I have managed to activate their crawler after contacting the hosting company.

    I am on shared server and have a store built on WooCommerce with about 4,500 products. For each product, the price and stock status are updated every 1 hour from the xml file updated by the supplier. After such update many products remain unchanged in price and availability.

    Litespeed cache crawler, as far as I know, cannot run from the cron command on the server, hence my doubts about its efficiency. In their crawler I only have Guest and Guest – Mobile enabled as a tasks, I do not use WebP optimization.

    Could a Cache Warmer plugin in such situation be potentially faster in keeping the cache warm?

    And second question is it possible for Cache Warmer to only go through updated products skipping all unchanged sites?

    With best regards

    Hi @tmmtechnology,

    Just a quick remider about the question I asked earlier. I’m eager to hear your thoughts.

    Hi @septero

    Sorry for the late response and thanks for your patience. There was a month-long pause in plugin development and support due to an overload on another project, and now we are resuming it.

    We use Action Scheduler (which uses WP Cron under the hood). Our plugin is pretty fast due to its simplicity and batching of 1 page into a separate Action Scheduler action.

    We also support several UAs, so you could warm for Desktop and Mobile just by specifying the desired UAs (page A will be visited with all specified UAs separately). You can specify it in Crawler Settings (tab) -> User Agents. And you can also specify whether to visit images or not (Crawling Behavior (tab) -> Assets Preloading).

    And regarding the second question: it depends on how you update the posts. But we also have a setting for that: Schedule (tab) -> Posts warming after their update; the log of it can be seen in Logs (submenu) -> Triggered (tab).

    I hope I have answered all your questions. If you encounter any problems or have more questions, feel free to ask and I will try to answer ASAP.
