Preloader speed

    Hi there,

    First of all, thanks for creating this amazing plugin.

    I have a few sites with over 1000 pages/posts. If I add my page and post sitemaps to the preloader, is there a way to control the speed of preloading?
    I.E. Set it to slow, so it curl each page only every few seconds (so not to cause resource issues, possible 500).

    Thanks!

    Hi,
    first of all, if your site has good/moderate traffic – you really don’t need to use the preloader. It is mainly for super low-traffic sites.

    Also unfortunately there is no option to increase the delay between the requests. As the requests are handled asynchronously.

    Thanks for the answer. ??

    Some of the sites are quite low traffic, it’s just nice to have all the pages/post cached for when someone does land on a page.
    I guess I could just preload the main / most popular pages & posts.

    Or another idea. I also use Swift Performance, with page cache currently disabled so not to clash with yours. Could re-enable caching on Swift (as I can control the preload speed on that) then disable the fallback cache on your plugin?

    Assuming they’re both compatible (so Swift handling the website level page cache and your plugin handling the CF cache), if Swift does its preload via curls, would that also preload the CF cache?

    Thanks again!

    – Well, it doesn’t work that way. If those pages don’t have much traffic – Cloudflare won’t keep them in cache – unless you get the Cloudflare Cache Reserve.

    Also a lot of time when Cloudflare system sees requests are coming via cURL instead of an actual browser – it won’t cache the pages.

    Could re-enable caching on Swift (as I can control the preload speed on that) then disable the fallback cache on your plugin?

    – You can try but not sure if it will work. If that plugin modifying the cache-control header and not let this plugin take control over the cache-control header or if there are 2 cache-control headers, the Cloudflare cache might not work properly.

    Many thanks for the info. That’s all clear.
