# Warm Cache

 * Is it possible to warm the cache by using something like:
 * wget –spider –recursive [http://mywordpress.com](http://mywordpress.com)
 * I use this method for other systems to ready my sites with cache files every 
   night when doing backups using a shell script but, when I tried to do this with
   my WordPress site running quick cache, the cache files did not get created.
 * I’m guessing that quick cache checks prevents spiders from caching pages or something
   by looking at headers. I’m stuck.
 * Any advice on how to add a warm cache feature to my bash shell script would be
   wonderful!
 * Thanks

 * I just tested this on my local site and it worked as expected. `wget` spidered
   the site, which resulted in Quick Cache generating cache files.
 * Quick Cache does not exclude any User-Agents by default (if you’re using [Quick Cache Pro](http://raamdev.com/resources/go/quickcache)
   then you have access to the User-Agent Exclusion Patterns feature, which includes`
   w3c_validator` as a default exclusion, but but even that shouldn’t affect a `
   wget` spider).
 * If you have the “Discourage search engines from indexing this site” option enabled
   in WordPress (Settings -> Reading), then WordPress will automatically return 
   a `robots.txt` file that excludes all User-Agents. (However, if you manually 
   add a `robots.txt` file, that should override anything set by WordPress.)

 * Also, since it’s related to your question, I thought I should mention that the
   next version of [Quick Cache Pro](http://raamdev.com/resources/go/quickcache)
   includes a new Auto-Cache Engine feature, which basically accomplishes the same
   thing as “warming the cache”.
 * You can see a screenshot of the new Auto-Cache Engine options panel [here](http://d1v41qemfjie0l.cloudfront.net/websharks/uploads/2014/04/Screen-Shot-2014-04-29-at-4.44.02-PM.png).
