Questions About WP Super Cache

    Hello,

    I have some questions about the WP Super Cache plugin:

    1. I want to use Deflate in .htaccess for compression. What settings should I change in WP Super Cache to avoid problems? I think I need to turn off “Compress pages so they’re served more quickly to visitors.” Are there other settings I should look at too?
    2. Can I use .htaccess compression with the “Simple” mode in WP Super Cache, or is it better to use “Expert” mode?
    1. I also have a question regarding the Preload feature in WP Super Cache. If I set the “Refresh Preload Cache” interval to 0, does this mean the preload cache will only be updated when I publish a new post, edit a page, or manually clear the cache? In other words, there won’t be any automatic refresh of the preload cache at regular intervals?
    2. The guide for my theme to set up WP Super Cache suggests that I should enable the “Preload all posts” option in the Preload settings. However, I noticed that this option is no longer available. Could you provide guidance or alternatives regarding this?

    Thank you!

    1. WP Super Cache compresses cache files when they are generated, so it’s probably better to let the plugin handle compressing the pages of your site. Disabling that setting should be all you need to do, however.
    2. Apache should compress any HTML that is sent to the browser if you have mod_deflate installed, but I’m not sure if HTML content served by mod_rewrite rules will be compressed. As above, if you allow the plugin to handle compression, then it will probably work best that way.
    3. By setting the interval to 0 you disable periodic preload. Preload will only happen when you start it yourself manually.
    4. If you have more than 100 posts on your site, the preload lets you choose how many posts to preload. If you have less, it will preload all the posts, and doesn’t let you choose.
