Great for small sites, do not use for WooCommercee sites
This plugin is a great concept and from other reviews appears to work well on small sites. However I reported an issue 6 weeks ago where the PHP error was getting hammered by this plugin (over 7gb in size) due to a huge query failing to cache-warmer-links-tree-leftovers in WP-Options It appears from other support requests the developer has abandoned this plugin as there has been no response on other support requests too. Shame as it could be a brilliant plugin if the core issues was fixed Summary, great for small sites - forget it it you're running WooCommerce

May the performance be with you!
This is a really good helper plugin. Thanks so much for the development. The only thing that doesn't work is the activation of the plugin in a XAMPP environment. I think I would have to dig deeper into the code, to see, what the error with XAMPP meant.. But anyways.. on my shared hosting it worked out of the box and is a very helpfull utility. If I find the time, maybe I'll fork it :) Thanks again for this masterpiece! Love it.

This plugin is a godsend
Perfect plugin, not much to change. Litespeed Cache is pretty bad without this, and incredible when paired with this. Also, I like it much more than even the official Litespeed crawler.

Perfect plugin
I have been looking for a plugin like this for a long time. With Redis full page caching, they are only added to the cache on first load and then dropped after 4 hours in the cache. This is a really nicely made plugin that will preload these files into cache at regular intervals. It's an amazing plugin.

Unbelievable how good this plugin is
I waisted so much time with other "top" plugins trying to fix preloading cache and then this plugin shows up and simply did the job. Masterful work! Thanks

Integrates with both Cloudflare and mod_cache – a real gem!
This is a well thought-out plugin. A notable feature is that the log shows these three headers: cf-cache-status, x-cache and X-WP-Super-Cache. Which means you’ll know at one glance the status of Cloudflare’s edge cache, httpd’s mod_cache disk cache, and, I suppose, the WP Super Cache plugin’s less efficient disk cache if that’s what you’re using.
