When and Where FlyingPress Caches Pages

Updated over 3 weeks ago

FlyingPress uses smart cache generation and storage to ensure fast performance without overloading the server.

When are pages cached?

Pages are cached under the following conditions:

  • When you click “Preload cache” – URLs are discovered and added to a queue, then cached one by one.

  • When posts, pages, or products are updated – Related URLs (e.g., homepage, category, author) are purged and re-cached automatically.

  • When an uncached page is visited – If a page isn’t already cached, the raw (uncached and unoptimized) version is served once. That URL is then added to the queue with high priority for caching.

How caching works

  • Each URL is added to a preload queue, handled one by one in the background.

  • Cached pages are stored as static HTML files in:
    wp-content/cache/flying-press/example.com/

  • The actual file is saved as:
    index.html.gz (compressed for faster delivery)

This approach ensures cached content is generated efficiently while keeping your site responsive—even under load.
