Informations about the package craft-cache-cow
Cache Cow
This plugin adds a "Warm Cache" button under Utilities > Cache Cow on your Craft CMS control panel. Click it to start the cache warming process on all selected sites.
Cache Cow will look for your sitemap at {webroot}/sitemap.xml by default, but you can set the path to your own sitemap in plugin settings. Or you can have the plugin read this value from an environment variable, depending on your needs. Multiple sites are supported.
You can enter additional URLs for cache warming in plugin settings (Settings > Plugins > Cache Cow > Settings).
If no URLs are found for warming (i.e. no sitemap exists at the configured path and no additional URLs have been entered), "Warm Cache" button will be disabled and you'll see an error.
You can also do cache warming via console command
By default it fetches all URLs from all configured sitemaps and any additional URLs added in Settings. You can target one or a few site handles by passing them in as a comma-separated list
Use handle custom to target additional URLs added in Settings.

This plugin requires Craft CMS 4.0.0 or later, and PHP 8.2 or later.
