 * Hi Stefano,
 * We’ve been using your plugin on every website we make in the past two years or
   so. We love how simple it is to install and configure. But there is one thing
   we’re missing: the option to auto-generate cached versions of posts, pages and
   other post types. Here’s why:
 * Many of our customers have low-traffic B2B websites. Because the traffic is so
   low, many pages have not been cached when somebody (or a search robot) visits
   that page for the first time.
 * We have tried to set **‘cached pages will be valid for’** to infinite. But this
   is far from ideal. When i.e. a widget changes many admins forget to clear the
   cache, so the old version of the widget remains visible until somebody does clear
   the cache. And if somebody finally does clear the cache, we have to go over every
   page and post to manually generate the cached versions.
 * Until now we used the **‘generate cache’** plugin for this, but it hasn’t been
   updated for over 3 years and it doesn’t work well anymore on the latest versions
   of WordPress.
 * Have you ever considered building this into the hyper cache plugin?
 * Kind regards,
    Leon

 * Hi, but why you should have all the pages precached? And not cached on the fly?

 * What do you mean by ‘cached on the fly’? Do you mean when a user visits a page
   for the first time after the cache is expired?
 * The speed difference on low resource hosting between a cached and a non-cached
   page is huge (around 400%). If a website doesn’t have much traffic a high percentage
   of visitors and crawlers will see a (slow) page with expired cache.
 * We would like all the pages to be pre-cached, so that 100% of the visitors have
   the speed benefit of the cached version.

 * Hi, ok, understood, anyway the plugin has not a precaching system, you should
   try to stay with generate cache, even if old it only has to scan the site (probabibly
   creating more server load than needed bu at least precaching pages). You should
   consider if the server become slow because of the precaching plugin.

 * Allright. So no plans to include this feature in Hypercache someday?
