The product is designed as an automatic WordPress optimization engine and it starts working just after installation. But sometimes it still needed to be fine-tuned or troubleshot on particular sites.
Here you can see the overall working status of the WordPress cache and do some operations if necessary. See below.
Status#
Here we can see all background activities.
- Particular update (auto)
Shows processing of posts updating according to specified revalidation settings.
- Particular update (scheduled)
Shows processing of posts updating according to specified scheduled revalidation settings.
- Cleanup old
Automatically deleting the old content according to common and user cache timeout settings. Can produce medium server loading.
Statistics#
Here we can see the total amount of cached pages and occupied cache size. The data can be refreshed by pressing the corresponding button.
Note. The refreshing could take a long time (several minutes) and it’s OK.
Operate#
All posts are revalidated automatically if a relevant option is enabled. But sometimes it is needed to do it manually.
The operation’s scope can also be chosen – for all or individual addresses:
- All
All pages according to the specified scope.
- Specified URLs, URIs, or expressions
Site’s URLs or relative URIs each on new line or leave empty for site’s root. Also, revalidation expressions can be also used.
Available operations:
- Delete cache
Deletes all cached content. The status will be auto-refreshed after completion. Server’s cache is deleted automatically if ‘Update cache (if available)‘ option is set.
Warning: can produce high server loading.
- Revalidate cache
Just revalidates the cached data without erasing previously cached content that preserves minimal server loading. If the ‘Lazy revalidation’ is active, the content will be updated transparently to the user rather than the first user will have to wait for content updating and next users get previously cached version. Server’s cache is deleted automatically if ‘Update cache (if available)‘ option is set.
- Revalidate cache if needed
The same as the previous one, only if the page has already been optimized, then re-optimization is not performed.
- Delete server’s cache (if available)
Tries to clear server cache if available. It works as same as this similar option.
Available views#
It is shown when active more than one devices’ views in related settings. So, here can be chosen specific view for operate.
Available Geo regions#
It is shown when Geo location is enabled. So, here can be chosen specific Geo location for operate.
