Title: [Plugin: WP Super Cache] Supercache Refresh Question Last modified: August 20, 2016 --- # [Plugin: WP Super Cache] Supercache Refresh Question * [drummergirl](https://wordpress.org/support/users/drummergirl/) * (@drummergirl) * [13 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-super-cache-supercache-refresh-question/) * I’ve got a product based site and supercache does an awesome job of serving my pages up quickly. 🙂 * My question is this… I’m in the process of rebuilding the sidebar menu which is displayed on every product page. These product pages are custom post types and there is also a top level custom taxonomy page linked in the menu structure. Once I create the product page, there is usually no reason to go back and edit it. Everything is managed through my custom post template. * As I update the menu or tweak the template, how long does it usually take before one of my product pages gets refreshed in the cache? I know I can flush the cache, but I hate to do that as it takes a painfully long time for a non-cached page to load due to external api calls and I have 500+ custom posts. I would hate to do that to visitors each time I make a minor update to the template. * So does Supercache rebuild the entire cache directory at some point and how long does that take? * [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-super-cache/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-super-cache/) Viewing 10 replies - 1 through 10 (of 10 total) * Plugin Author [Donncha O Caoimh (a11n)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/donncha/) * (@donncha) * [13 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-super-cache-supercache-refresh-question/#post-2891031) * Check your advanced settings page, cache expiry details are all set by you the user. * Thread Starter [drummergirl](https://wordpress.org/support/users/drummergirl/) * (@drummergirl) * [13 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-super-cache-supercache-refresh-question/#post-2891054) * Thanks – I do have those set. I guess my real concern is that when those pages expire, will another one immediately be generated by the plugin or will that happen only when the page is hit again? * I want to be absolutely certain that my visitors (and bots) are hit with a cached page at all times because of the uncached (product) page being such a beast to load uncached. * Based on the recommendations, I have my settings as: * Cache timeout: 0 Timer: 86400 * Pre-load Refresh: 86400 Preload mode: checked Preload tags, categories and other taxonomies: checked * Does this look correct for what I need? * Plugin Author [Donncha O Caoimh (a11n)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/donncha/) * (@donncha) * [13 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-super-cache-supercache-refresh-question/#post-2891057) * If you use preloading then the pages on your site won’t expire (if not cleared by an action like posting a comment or updating a post) but will be regenerated by the preload. Users won’t see an uncached page, I hope! * Thread Starter [drummergirl](https://wordpress.org/support/users/drummergirl/) * (@drummergirl) * [13 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-super-cache-supercache-refresh-question/#post-2891058) * Thanks Donncha – I appreciate the clarification. * I’ll keep an eye on it for a few days and make sure the product pages are still loading quickly. I think I’ve got things set the way I need them now. 🙂 * Thread Starter [drummergirl](https://wordpress.org/support/users/drummergirl/) * (@drummergirl) * [13 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-super-cache-supercache-refresh-question/#post-2891070) * Ok – ran into a snag I guess. Just went back to check my site and the pages that were previously cached this morning when I checked, are no longer cached. 🙁 * I am not logged in to the site, but they are taking forever to load again. Am I missing something obvious? * Thread Starter [drummergirl](https://wordpress.org/support/users/drummergirl/) * (@drummergirl) * [13 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-super-cache-supercache-refresh-question/#post-2891071) * Uhh – it looks like all my settings got reset?

The folders are there, but they are empty. * In fact, it seems that all of the folders were wiped out at some point and the only ones there now are the ones I clicked on this morning during my test. * Can you help me figure out why those pages are not caching properly or not staying cached? I am stumped. * Thread Starter [drummergirl](https://wordpress.org/support/users/drummergirl/) * (@drummergirl) * [13 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-super-cache-supercache-refresh-question/#post-2891109) * Ok – did some more digging. I am noticing that any of the pages displaying my products are not generating supercache files. Normal pages, contact forms and blog posts all generate a supercache file. Any page that displays my products( from a feed) are not generating a supercache page. * To be certain this is the pattern, I loaded one blog post that also had a product feed. It did not generate a supercache page – only a folder. I then loaded another blog post with no products and it did generate a supercache file. * Is there a way to make supercache generate a file for these types of pages? Why is it not generating the file?
