LiteSpeed Cache for Prestashop: Crawler

The crawler travels through your site, refreshing pages that have expired in the cache. This makes it less likely that your visitors will encounter un-cached pages.

  1. Crawler Engine: The crawler must be enabled at the server level, or you will see the warning message Server crawler engine not enabled. Please check….. If you are using a shared hosting server, please contact your hosting provider, or see our instructions.
  2. SiteMap: Prepare your site's sitemap, e.g. http://prestashop-123/456_sitemap.xml

DownLoad from here
Change permission able to executive
chmod +x cachecrawler.sh

Crawl Desktop&mobile share same View

sh cachecrawler.sh SITE-MAP-URL

Crawl Desktop&Mobile save different Views

sh cachecrawler.sh SITE-MAP-URL -m

By default, in the Prestashop cache plugin Mobile View is DISABLED. To enable mobile view, navigate to PrestaShop Admin → LiteSpeed Cache → Configuration and set Separate Mobile View to Yes

More Options

  • To get help: sh cachecrawler.sh -h
  • To change default interval request from 0.1s to custom NUM value: sh cachecrawler.sh SITE-MAP-URL -i NUM

The Google Sitemap module is quite popular for generating a sitemap in Prestashop, and it's much faster than online generation.

Google Sitemap Module

For v1.6, Google Sitemap Module is installed by default.

For v1.7+, Google Sitemap Module needs to be installed from source first. Download gsitemap; then change the file name to gsitemap.zip.

Click the Configure button, then click xxx.sitemap.xml(This is your SITE-MAP-URL).

SiteMap Online Generator

One of the popular sitemap generators is XML-Sitemaps.com After the crawl is finished. Click DOWNLOAD YOUR XML SITEMAP FILE and put it where the crawler script can access it.

By using the browser developer tool, you should see X-LiteSpeed-Cache: hit at the first view for both desktop and Mobile
