 * Hi all. I’m using Comet Cache as well as Easy Timer ([https://www.kleor.com/easy-timer/en/](https://www.kleor.com/easy-timer/en/)).
   The issue I’m having is that I have a count-up timer on my web site’s home page
   that is supposed to show the number of days since a certain date, but due to 
   the cache it doesn’t update each day, but each 7 days. I tweaked CC to refresh
   the cache daily but, if the first view is any sizeable time after midnight – 
   say 10 a.m. – then the next day, the timer will still be off til 10 a.m. when
   the cache expires.
 * Are there any ways around this? I’m just in the process of testing all this at
   this point and want to see if there is a way around this issue before I move 
   further forward.
 * Thanks in advance.
    Mike

 * I’m using a count-up timer that updates every day (look toward the bottom of 
   this page: [http://christianboyce.com/about/about-me/](http://christianboyce.com/about/about-me/),
   and I also am using Comet Cache. The script is “xdayssince.js” and I got it from
   [http://www.javascriptkit.com](http://www.javascriptkit.com). Free.

 * [@mikeg64](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mikeg64/) The only types of dynamically
   updating timers that will work with WordPress caching plugins are those that 
   use JavaScript to update. WordPress caching plugins capture the output from WordPress
   and serve that cached HTML to future visitors. If the timer that you’re using
   relies on the output of WordPress to update, then it most likely won’t work with
   WordPress caching plugins, including Comet Cache.
 * I recommend checking with the developer of the timer plugin you’re using to see
   if it will work with WordPress caching plugins, or you might try another timer
   like what [@christianboyce](https://wordpress.org/support/users/christianboyce/)
   mentioned above.
 * I hope this helps! 🙂
