WP-Rocket Background Cache

This plugin will defer all cache pre-loading to wp-cron. If a page request comes and a page is not cached yet, wp-rocket will be disabled. However WP-Rocket functions using filters for example CDN will still function. Anything that uses WP-Rockets output buffering via rocket_buffer` will be disabled though.

The cron time is currently set via filter defaulting to per minute.

It is recommended to run wp-cron via unix cron either as a web fetch, WPCLI, or another means.

This plugin works with logged in users as well by simulating the current users session cookies when requesting a page to cache.
