I am trying to determine how I want to tackle this... this is all new to me. My site (I did not build it) has caching in place but a page only caches if it is visited.
What I was thinking is that if I have an xml sitemap with all my pages, use that as a check list and have a script load (or "visit") those pages to cache them once a day.
Is this even possible? Has anyone here done something similar? As you might be able to tell, I am kinda new at PHP...
If anyone could help point me in the right direction, it would be very much appreciated. Ideas, steps, functions, etc.
Thank you!
I have found out that if you properly code your site (mysql queries specifically), correctly and efficiently, there is no need to have caching in place. I spent a few days re-writing the functions and queries that do the same thing but don't create unwanted lag and unnecessary queries.
If anyone else is having similar issues, I urge you to optimize your code... ask for help if you need but you shouldn't have to cache a site unless it requires a ton of queries per page load and the page doesn't change daily.
