Support for Drupal 7 is ending on 5 January 2025—it’s time to migrate to Drupal 10! Learn about the many benefits of Drupal 10 and find migration tools in our resource center.This project is not covered by Drupal’s security advisory policy.
Whenever the cache is cleared (or "flushed" in Drupal parlance), whether from new content creation of a volundary flush, the burden of caching is moved to the users: files are not actively rebuilt and put in the cache until a visitor chances upon the page to be rebuilt. This causes two problems:
1) it gives your users an impression of sluggishness about your site, and sluggish sites are bad sites;
2) Google now considers your page load speeds as part of its ranking algorithms; everything else being equal, faster pages rank higher -- precaching gives your site the edge, especially when, in the worst possible case, Googlebot is the user burdened with a first visit on a page.
Smart Flush lets you configure URLs that must be rebuilt after any type of cache clearing, or can be set to recache all pages that account for a certain percentage of traffic (it is often said that 20% of your pages account for 80% of your traffic for example, so Smart Flush can be configured to regenerate those 20% of all of your pages, of you can go all-out and request that all of your pages be recached).
