SleekView for WP Super Cache: cache hit & purge log tables
WP Super Cache writes hit and miss counters to its supercache directory and surfaces purge activity through hooks. SleekView turns those counters and the wp_options entries that drive them into one sortable cache health dashboard.

See which URLs are actually cached and which keep missing
WP Super Cache stores its cached pages on disk under wp-content/cache/supercache/, with one folder per host and per request path. Configuration lives in wp_options under the wp_cache_* keys, and the plugin's stats option records hits, misses, and the last purge timestamp. The settings screen exposes a Contents tab that lists how many cached pages exist per directory, but it stops short of telling you which URLs cache cleanly, which keep being regenerated, and which are excluded by a rejected URI rule.
SleekView reads the cache directory listing alongside the relevant options and post meta and presents one table per question. Sort cached URLs by file age to spot stale entries that survived past their expiry. Filter to URLs that match a rejected pattern so you can audit why a page is opting out of caching. Show purge events from the last hour next to the post that triggered them so editors and developers stop arguing about whether a save actually flushed the cache.
SleekView never writes to the cache directory itself. Refresh and purge actions go through WP Super Cache's own hooks (wpsc_delete_files, wp_cache_post_change) so behavior matches the plugin's UI exactly. Free, on-disk caching keeps doing its job. SleekView just makes the cache state legible at the level of detail teams actually need during a launch or a debugging session.

Comparison
Default WP Super Cache settings vs SleekView
Default WP Super Cache settings
- Contents tab shows counts per directory but not per URL
- No way to sort cached pages by age or size
- Rejected URI matches are not surfaced next to the URLs they affect
- Purge events are not logged in a queryable view
- No saved view to hand a developer for cache debugging
SleekView
- Per-URL view of cache age, size, last hit, and status
- Filter to stale entries past their configured expiry
- Surface rejected URIs and excluded paths next to live cache data
- Show purge events alongside the post or option change that triggered them
- Save debugging views like 'Stale on the homepage path'
Features
What SleekView gives you for WP Super Cache
Cache state per URL
See exactly which URLs hold a fresh supercache file, which are mid-regeneration, and which are excluded. Skip directory totals and read the actual cache state at the URL level.
Purge events as a feed
Each post change, option update, or manual purge becomes a row with a timestamp and the trigger. Confirm whether a save actually flushed the cache or whether the editor was looking at a stale render.
Filter by status, age, or path
Stack filters across cache age, response size, last hit, and URL pattern. Find the long-tail URLs that never warm up or the rejected paths still being requested by visitors.
Audience
Who uses SleekView for WP Super Cache
Performance engineers
Audit cache hit ratio per URL pattern instead of guessing from a single global counter. Sort by cache age and size to find pages that regenerate often or never reach the supercache stage.
Agencies during launches
Hand the launch lead a saved view of homepage and pricing-path cache state. They watch warm-up live and confirm rejected URIs without opening the WP Super Cache settings.
Developers debugging stale content
Cross-reference recent post saves with purge events to confirm hooks fired correctly. Resolve cache invalidation tickets in minutes rather than asking editors to clear their browser.
The bigger picture
Why on-disk caching needs a queryable inspection layer
WP Super Cache is the most installed caching plugin on WordPress because the on-disk approach is fast, simple, and free. The trade-off is that the inspection story has stayed at the level of directory totals and a Contents tab. Teams running busy sites end up SSHing into the server to list the supercache folder by hand, or installing a separate object-cache viewer just to confirm whether a URL is being served from cache.
That works once, but it does not scale to a launch where the team needs to watch warm-up live, or to a debugging session where the question is which exact URL keeps regenerating. SleekView turns the cache surface into structured rows that a non-developer can read. URLs, ages, hit timestamps, rejection reasons, and purge triggers all become columns the team can sort, filter, and save.
The cache itself is unchanged, the rewrite rules still serve from disk, and WP Super Cache remains the engine. SleekView just gives the team eyes on what the engine is actually doing.
Questions
Common questions about SleekView for WP Super Cache
Yes. WP Super Cache is free from Automattic and the supercache directory plus the wp_cache_* options exist in every install. SleekView reads what is already on disk and in wp_options, so no premium tier is required. All caching modes (Simple, Expert, WP-Cache) are supported because each one writes the same metadata SleekView keys off.
No. SleekView paginates the directory listing and only opens it when an admin loads the view. The cache itself continues to serve front-end visitors directly from disk through the existing rewrite rules. There is no extra query path on the front end and no added work for the supercache mod_rewrite layer.
Yes. Inline purge actions call WP Super Cache's own delete functions for a single URL or a wildcard match. The plugin's logging and any object cache invalidation it triggers run as normal, so a purge from SleekView is indistinguishable from one done in the plugin's settings tab.
Yes. Each subsite has its own cache directory and its own wp_cache_* options, and SleekView respects that scoping. Network admins can switch between sites and each one renders its own cache state. WP Super Cache's network-wide settings remain the source of truth for which subsites have caching enabled.
Yes. WP Super Cache stores CDN host configuration in the same options table, and SleekView surfaces those values as columns next to the cached URL. If a CDN-rewritten URL is in use for an asset, the table shows both the local cache row and the CDN target so debugging is one read instead of two.
Preload queue state lives in the plugin's options and a transient that tracks the current run. SleekView surfaces both as a dedicated view, so the team can see how many URLs are queued, which one is being warmed right now, and which past runs failed to complete. Manual cancel and restart actions trigger WP Super Cache's own preload handlers.
Yes. Purge and refresh actions use the plugin's filters and action hooks, so anything WP Super Cache normally logs continues to be logged. The plugin remains the source of truth for cache state and SleekView just gives the data a queryable surface.
Yes. Any saved view exports to CSV with the active filters, sort order, and visible columns. Useful for sharing a cache audit with a hosting provider, archiving the state of cache before a major release, or comparing two snapshots before and after a configuration change.
