Reloading Cached Content

  • WOW my site is a lot faster. I’ve done a lot of work to bring my rating up using pingdom, but I’ve noticed an issue:

    If I refresh the cache and go test a page, it comes back with all of these issues I’ve already fixed. If I go to the front side of the site and visit a page twice, pingdom shows everything back to normal.

    Does this mean that the cached version of a page is only created the first time someone visits that page? In other words, I would have to go visit every page to create new cached versions, otherwise Google would see all kinds of problems I would be penalized for? That would take a lot of time every time I make changes and have to go manually visit every page on the site.

    I’m probably looking at this wrong, but let me know.

    I’m amazed that after testing every cache alternative including the big ones, this gives me the fastest site speed – so far I’ve gone from an 8.7 sec pageload to 2.77 by fixing pingdom notices and installing your plugin, without even starting to tweak 5 megs of images on the page…

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

  • Cache Enabler only caches a page once it has been visited by a user. However, this shouldn’t be a problem if your site receives even a small amount of traffic.

    Can you clarify, if the issues appear when Cache Enabler isn’t delivering your pages and then disappears once Cache Enabler has them cached? If you could provide an example that would be helpful.

    Thanks for the response! Still thrilled about the speed of your caching plugin!

    If I refresh the cache, I get the Parallelize Downloads Across Hostnames issue siting 74 that need to be fixed. I switched to http/2 to resolve that, and if I visit the page so that it is refreshed, the same test at test.pingdom.com comes back all good without such an error. I’d love to know why that is – maybe I’m doing something wrong?

    My fear is that if pages have not been refreshed and Google or some other bot we care about visit a page it will see all of that stuff that marks us down.

    Also, we are using autopimize with your plugin and they seem to work wonderful together, any tips or info we might need to know about that would be appreciated.

    I’m going to refresh the cache now, and here are some pages that probably won’t be visited in the mean time so you can test, I assume you will have to run a pingdom test, then refresh the page by visiting it, then run it again to see what’s up.

    https://www.advancedbiology.com – this is the home page, it may or may not be refreshed when you get there, we don’t have that much traffic at the moment.

    Also, curiously, when I go to settings now, it says define(‘WP_CACHE’, true); isn’t enabled in wp-congic.php – but it is…

    I tried visiting your site directly but don’t see the Cache Enabler tag in your HTML. Can you try reinstalling the plugin and check if the “define(‘WP_CACHE’, true);” warning disappears?

    I’m not sure why Pingdom would be returning the “Parallelize Downloads Across Hostnames” warning when you refresh the cache but not when the cache is warm. However, as long as you have HTTP2 enabled on your site you can safely ignore this warning.

    Sorry for the late response. I reinstalled and this is definitely at the bottom of the wp-config file:

    define(‘WP_CACHE’, true); // Added by Cache Enabler

    but it still gives me:

    define(‘WP_CACHE’, true); is not set in wp-config.php.

    in the cache enabler settings.

    You should see now if you hit pages that the issue is still there – cold pages give the parallelize downloads issue, warm pages don’t. So weird.

    Could you try moving:

    define(‘WP_CACHE’, true); // Added by Cache Enabler

    to the top of your wp-config.php file?

    That worked! Thank you! Now for the issue of the Parallelize Downloads issue on cold cache. I do have HTTP2 enabled, as far as I can tell, but even if it’s not a huge issue based on that Google can see it on a cold cache page and does factor it, as near as I can tell when using their page test, just as in Pingdom.

    Can you post a screenshot of the warning you’re seeing? I haven’t been able to replicate it for your site yet.
