Informations about the package craft-yesterdays-news
Yesterday’s News
A Craft CMS 5 plugin that automatically removes stale pages from your Blitz static cache.
Requires Craft CMS ^5.9 and Blitz.
TL;DR
Yesterday's News automatically deletes pages from the Blitz cache if the page hasn't been visited in X time (configurable).
The problem
On sites with a large amount of infrequently-visited content, the Blitz cache can grow to include thousands of pages that nobody is actually reading. This makes Blitz' refresh cycles unnecessarily large and slow.
Yesterday's News tracks when each page was last visited and removes pages that haven't been seen within a configurable threshold. The cache stays lean, and refresh cycles only cover pages people are actually reading.
Quick start
- Install the plugin
- Set up the two cron jobs
- Visit Utilities → Yesterday's News in the Craft CP to see tracked pages and their status
- 🎉
The plugin works automatically from there. Pages visited by real users are tracked via a lightweight background request that fires on every page load. Pages that fall outside the configured threshold are pruned from Blitz on the next scheduled run.
Installation
1. Install Yesterday's News
You can install Yesterday's News by searching for “Yesterday's News” in the Craft Plugin Store, or install manually using composer.
2. Configure the plugin
Copy the default config file into your project:
Then edit config/yesterdays-news.php to adjust the thresholds for your site.
3. Set up cron jobs
Two cron entries are required.

- Any visits currently buffered and waiting to be recorded
- Cached template includes and their prune status
Buttons let you manually flush, prune, sync, or clear all data without waiting for the cron schedule.
