 * Hi,
    Love this plugin, it really makes a massive difference on some sites.
 * But I wonder if there’s a function call I can use to start Flying Pages.
    I know
   it’s always running, but I’m clearing a cache via a function in my child theme(
   functions.php) and wondered if I could call up Flying Pages too.
 * Or is this not necessary?
    I’m uncertain if Flying Pages works on a site without
   visitor interaction, i.e. it would re-build a cache without Cron or human visit
   which is why I ask.

 * [@richardshea](https://wordpress.org/support/users/richardshea/) Flying Pages
   only cache pages in the browser, it’s not a replacement to a cache plugin or 
   cron job.

 * Thanks for the answer, and oh, I see – so the answer is it needs a human visitor,
   or I assume a bot to visit the site which I can consider.
 * All the best.

 * [@richardshea](https://wordpress.org/support/users/richardshea/) yes, bots don’t
   execute JS, so Flying Pages won’t work
