This plugin helps to keep whole pages of your site always being cached in the fresh based on the sitemap.xml and your own settings.
You might use one of caching plugin such as WP Super Cache, W3 Total Cache, Hyper Cache or Quick Cache to make your site response fast.
But every caching plugin has a process called 'garbage collection' which will remove old expired caches.
Wikipedia says:
If requested data is contained in the cache (cache hit), this request can be served by simply reading the cache, which is comparatively faster. Otherwise (cache miss), the data has to be recomputed or fetched from its original storage location, which is comparatively slower.
This plugin keeps every page always being cached and improves the cache hit ratio. As a result, your visitors always feel your site so fast.
It crawls your site based on sitemap.xml (ex: Google XML Sitemaps) and selected pages such as front pages, fixed pages, categories, tags and so on, in order to keep page caches always being fresh.
Requires WordPress 3.1.0 or higher and PHP 5 with libcurl.
Preloading synchronized with garbage collection of your caching plugin.
Using 'curl_multi' PHP functions to crawl pages in parallel. It makes expiration time aligned in a short period of time.
Split preloading is supported to reduce the load of your server.
