    I’d like to see hit rate, # of pages in cache, etc in a dashboard widget, latency, disk usage, etc so that I can see at a glance from my WordPress dashboard how effective my caching is.

  • With cache plugin or PHP there is no way to make this available. As a reminder, cache plugin doesn’t cache anything. It’s just a control panel to control the web server based cache. What you propose is only possible in a roundabout way and only to a very limited extent.

    Fair enough. LSCM stores some data in my home directory, so I wondered if there was an opportunity to leverage that or if webserver maintained more detailed data somewhere that PHP could read.

    To answer it succinctly, no, it is not possible. LScache does store the cached URLs in your account in the /lscache directory, but what is stored there are just compressed text files that match the browser output. The management of the cache is outside of /home directory and cannot be accessed with PHP.

    Also, that would create way too much load.
