Warm Cache Plugin
Crawls your website-pages based on google XML sitemap. If you have a caching plugin this will keep your cache warm. Speeds up your site.
Crawls your website-pages based on any XML sitemap. If you have a caching plugin this will keep your cache warm.
Speeds up your site.
Compatible with following elements: < sitemap > < url >
All urls in your sitemap will be visited by the plugin to keep the cache up to date.
Will show average page load times and pages visited.
Needs google XML sitemap to read the generated XML file.
Needs a cronjob (wget or curl) to call the plugin. You need to setup the cronjob yourself! (Or ask your sysadmin to help you).

FAQ
use a filter called ‘http_request_timeout’
Use a sitemap index, pointing to all your (custom/sub)-sitemaps. Only add the sitemap main index file to the plugin. Do NOT have this in the custom file name:
warmcache-sitemap.xml OR warmcache. Use this for example: supersitemap.xml or my_cache_sitemap.xml
Set a define in your wp-config (at the top, newline, after <?php ) with name MP_WARM_CACHE_NO_LOGGING_AT_ALL and value “yes”
Example
Please check https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/warm-cache/trunk/readme.txt#L38 DO not copy directly below due to the “curly quotes”
define(‘MP_WARM_CACHE_NO_LOGGING_AT_ALL’, ‘yes’);
Ask your webhost how to set up a get call using wget or curl. See Installation for instructions howmany times you should call the cronjob.
The fact that you are able to “see” the XML in your browser does not guarantee that PHP is able to read it too.
Consult your host about this, if that fails.

We use the hidden post type warmcache to store statistics. We also remove them upon each crawl.
Feel free to ignore creation of posts with warmcache.
See https://wordpress.org/support/topic/29-september-2016-update-causing-constant-post-update-notifications-from-secur/
@see The plugin shows an error, it cannot read the XML sitemap
Set a define in your wp-config (at the top, newline, after <?php ) with name MP_WARM_CACHE_FILTER_LIMIT and value INTEGER
Example
Please check https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/warm-cache/trunk/readme.txt#L58 DO not copy directly below due to the “curly quotes”
define(‘MP_WARM_CACHE_FILTER_LIMIT’, 25);
