A few questions

[R3dRidle]

Hello,

Cool idea for a plugin / service. Few questionsL

1. Does this work with WP Rocket?
2. You state that your plugin "Offloads the pressure on the server". But it still would need to visit my website to create a cached version of the pages right? Thus it will have load on my server. Could you explain on this?

Let me know :)

Hi @R3dRidle,

First off al thank you for considdering my solution. as answer on your questions:

1. Yes because all logic is done externally. And best of all I build this because of WP Rocket. So its actually an solution to help with this plugin.

2. You dont need to visit. The whole point of CacheRocket is that CacheRocket Visits the URL you feed it. so the heavy lifting is done externally. IT vistits the url and thus keep the cache WP rocket creates alive at all times.

Normally WP rocket is Cache Preloading you pages. This is so resourses consumin from WP. Cache Rocket does this out side your WP system and makes sure that WP rocket Doesnt need to preload it ony updates the Cache. It makes sure your WP preloading resourses are not needed. Yes CacheRocket is visiting your website. But the WP rocket Preloading is so heavy on your RAM and CPU. you will need to have a HUGE server. CacheRocket is just a visitor.

So in that terms: yes its putting load on your server. But WAY less than an actualy WP plugin.

The plugin for WP ive created is ONLY to see your active cache warmers. ITs not putting any load on resourses. you can still use CacheRocket without the WP plugin.

[R3dRidle]

Ok I understand I don't need the plugin. But forgive me for not getting it directly how your CacheRocket works.

So basically you "preload" it by visiting the website as a visitor right ? So how is this different from the WP Rocket bot visiting and preloading and how can it be better / faster?

I just don't understand.

Let me know

@R3dRidle,

Good question! The WP Rocket Plugin uses internal server resourches to preload the cache. Just check when you activate preloading your site/admin becomes really slow. This is because WP rocket uses your CPU and RAM to preload all those pages. the preloading is done within the plugin self.

This means extra load on your server. With cache rocket you can Disable the preload function (free up server resourches). And still have your cache warmed for the next first visitor.

The main point is to not Have any preloading features active because they are heavy on your server. CacheRocket acts as a first visitor mean the next visitor is serverd a warmed cached page.

[NOOBBase]

Cacherocket just keeps the cache warm at all times. You need to decided for your self:

Is the Load from the visit CacheRocket lighter in comparison to the preloading of WP rocket.
the anset is just yes. Because the visit that Cache Rocket does is always lighter and costs saving then buying a bigger server to handle the WP rocket preloader. Purely because it consumes CPU and RAM.

I can provide you a CacheRocket account with unlimited to see for yourself. I am happy to prove the worth of CacheRocket

[R3dRidle]

I might want that (I will get back to you on this), because we are as we speak investigating the slowness of our shop server. Wich only runs 6 shops, 1 has over 6000 products and 1 has over 3000. First I want to see what the hosting provider has to say.

One more question: How does your plugin work with WPML (multilanguage multidomain)?

[NOOBBase]

@R3dRidle It has No impact on WPML. The system follows what you feed.

you can provide a XML sitemap fully as you wish with or without any locale in it. cacheRocket follows exactly what you provide.
You can provide Per locale exclude locales.

Create separate warmers per: .x .y .z domain. Exclude pages i am adding a exclude regex as we speak.

[R3dRidle]

I will discuss tomorrow with my colleague if we want this.
For test I would need to install this for all my shops to see if the server really lowers it's load. Is this something you are willing to do?

We have as I said 6 sites running on the server. Where 1 has multiple domains because of WPML.
The 6 shops and languages cover a total of around 20.000 products and several pages / posts of course.

Let me know.

[NOOBBase]

My shops:

the animal shops had 30k products
the mobile phone shop had 25k products.

and that the reason i build this. WP rocket was so heavy on this. Its not build for webshops with 6 translations and more then 10k products. It take your WP website down

[NOOBBase]

@R3dRidle You dont need to install anything. Just create an account. Add the Sitemap or url to the warmer and press save..

[R3dRidle]

That's what I mean hehe

[R3dRidle]

I just registered an account. (Did not receive a verification token yet)
EDIT: Ah just got it

Let me know if your are willing to show / test the power of this service for our entire server.

@R3dRidle I am up to break it even!!!!
