Crazy Cache WordPress Plugin ReleasedApril 1st, 2008

« Hacking VLAN switched networksBlocking Bad Bots and Scrapers with .htaccess »

Isn’t WP-Cache an incredibly useful plugin? If I was only allowed to have one plugin for my WordPress blogs, hands-down I’d choose WP-Cache.

AskApache Crazy Cache lets you cache all the posts on your blog at once.

I’ve used some advanced features of libcurl and fsockopen to make sure that this caching action doesn’t overwhelm your server or result in redundant requests. That could slow down your blog, which I would never, ever, allow, I am very interested in this stuff.. speedy sites that is.

AskApache Crazy Cache WordPress PluginI always wanted the ability to cache all my posts on my blog whenever I wanted, and WP-Cache doesn’t let you do that. So a few months ago I hacked together this kick-butt plugin to do exactly that.

    hi there,

    askapache calls askapache-crazy-cache.php – why?
    my blog is under site .com/blog/entryXY – acc calls site .com/entryXY and tries to find askapache-crazy-cache.php under site .com/askapache-crazy-cache.php not site .com/blog/askapache-crazy-cache.php or something else like the plugin folder.

    maybe acc has a problem with urls like “/login/” “/print/” or so ????

    how can i solve it?

    or is acc a worm application??

    regards,
    thomas

    I’ve been attempting to use this with the upgraded 2.7 Wordpress and WP-Super-Cache 0.87. It appears to be incompatible in this instance (as per-previous poster, as soon as you hit any of the “delete cache” options, WP-Super-Cache stops working – there’s no comments in the source that should be inserted by WP-Super-Cache, though, curiously, no errors either…).

    It seems doesn’t work with Wordpress 2.7 :(
    Please update it.
    Thank you!

    Hi there! Does Crazy Cache abide by the “exception” rules set in WP-Super Cache? For example, I don’t want my photos page to be cached, or else the navigation gets all messed up. I set this in WP-Super Cache, and it works fine. Will Crazy Cache see this “rule” and abide by it? Furthermore, as a side note, I wish there was a way to cache only certain pages/posts ahead of time rather than the ENTIRE site. Maybe this will be available in the future? =).

    The way WP-Cache stores it’s files in one directory will actually slow down your site if it’s very big if you try and pre-generate all the pages on a blog. It takes longer to seek through a directory of many files, and WP Cache must open every meta file when a comment is left, or a post made, to find out what files to delete.

    Super Cache stores the files in two directories so the problem isn’t as bad but it’s something to bear in mind, if your site generates a large number of cached files.

    @ Andy, Stuart

    Ok I’ll make it work with WP-Super Cache and Release the update on Sunday. :)

    Would be awesome… IF it worked with WP Super Cache…

    I just tried it and it doesn’t. I know. I know… I read your “WP Super Cache will also be supported when the code improves.” section in the comments. But I thought I would try it anyway, just in case 2.51 was magically different to 2.50 ;)

    What do you need to see improved on WP Super Cache before you support it with this plugin?

    WP Super Cache works great on every blog I have it on.

    And the stats on wordpress.org show lots of other folk thing the same.

    WP Super Cache – Last week downloaded 2,528 times
    WP Cache – Last week downloaded 551 times

    How about updating this to support WP Super Cache before they improve the code? Because about 5 times more people are now downloading the new version then the old.

    And your plugin is kind of the missing link ;)

    It annoys the hell out of me that I can’t cache every page on my blog lol

    @ eric

    I said installations, not usage ;) jk, It could be one of a thousand things.. I’ll be updating it soon but in the meantime if you have any error logs or access logs or php logs you can send me any relevant ones.

    the plug-in doesn’t work with my installation. when hitting “Cache Entire Site” 0 (zero) pages get cached.

    any idea? i thought this is one of those idiot-proof installations? ;-)

    Would love to see this one work with WP-Super-Cache..!

    @JTPratt

    Thanks for spreading the word. Since the mod I made to those plugins were not specific to WP-Super-Cache, I’m pretty sure both of those plugins you mentioned would work on AskApache’s crazy cache or WP-Cache as well. Would somebody like to give it a try? :)

    This would be a great plugin, if it were faster.

    yo. i dont know what apache does with the cache (ttl) but for many hits on a busy site, this is what you hope for. the thing to do is schedule the caching for off hours. or if you have a networked second server…..

    Caching is great, but it screws up statistical plugins like WP-PostViews and Popularity Contest. Over at Omninoggin, I found to both these plugins (converted to javascript countings) here http://omninoggin.com/2008/03/30/make-popularity-contest-work-with-wp-super-cache/

    and here

    http://omninoggin.com/2008/04/19/make-wp-postviews-work-with-wp-super-cache/

    Oh – and both those plugins work with ‘WP-Super-Cache’ which is better than WP-Cache.

    which work great!

    This would be a great plugin, if it were faster. I use WP as a CMS with many, many pages, and at 7 seconds for 15 posts I’m looking at a little over an hour to cache my site.

    If you get a chance to optimize the performance, it would be a killer plugin.
