Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Gator Cache

No, GatorCache does not write to your htaccess. However, recommended Apache rewrite rules are provided, based on your settings, that you can copy and paste to your htaccess file to enable http caching.

Click on the "Gator Cache" button on your admin toolbar. From the menu below, choose "Purge entire cache". Alternatively, you can navigate to the Gator Cache settings to the Debug tab and use the purge button.

Typically when a cache is refreshed, the cached file and it's contents are deleted. This is what GatorCache does when a post or page is updated. Then when a vistor visits that page, the cache is re-generated on the fly. This works well in most scenarios. However, if your pages are really slow when not cached, you can set GatorCache to "warm the cache". This simply means that when a post is updated and the content is removed from the cache, the post url will be pinged in the background in order to re-generate the cached content. This will prevent any visitors from getting non-cached content and slow-loading pages. Please note that when you purge the entire cache, and have cache warming enabled, that this will not regenerate the cache for the entire site.
