Cache is incomplete, cleared too frequently or randomly

WordPress shows this message when the page‑cache loses files faster than it can rebuild them. The cache folder ends up half empty, so requests fall back to PHP execution.

The loss usually originates from a plugin or server component that triggers a full purge on actions that do not modify content. Frequent purges overwrite the cache before the preload process finishes, resulting in random misses.

Symptoms

[dashicons-warning]
Half‑empty cache folder
Only a few files remain in wp-content/cache/rocket after a purge.
[dashicons-admin-tools]
Random cache miss headers
Responses show x‑litespeed‑cache: miss on pages that should be hits.
[dashicons-admin-generic]
Frequent admin bar notices
Cache cleared notices appear repeatedly without user action.
[dashicons-dashboard]
Slower page loads
Pages that were fast become noticeably slower after a purge.

Common Causes

Third‑party plugins calling purge functions
Plugins such as Divi Overlays, Really Simple SSL, or review tools invoke rocket_clean_domain on any change.
LSCache purge via admin‑ajax
Background jobs trigger LSCache to clear random URLs through admin‑ajax calls.
Server‑level cache flush on every request
Mis‑configured Redis, Varnish, or CDN settings purge the cache on each hit.
Action Scheduler overload
A flood of rocket_preload_job_preload_url actions forces premature cache clears.
