Cache warming stops after every 20 pages
Warm Cache crawls only about 20 pages per cron run, so large sitemaps need repeated manual cron calls to finish.

What's going wrong
Site owners using this WordPress cache warmer report that each cron run crawls only about 20 pages and then stops, even when the sitemap lists thousands of URLs. One owner with around 4700 pages calculated that a daily cron would take weeks to finish. Others asked whether the crawl limit depends on sitemap size and why they must call the cron almost every minute. Large sites end up babysitting a scheduler to get a complete warm. The gap points to a managed warm-up service that keeps working through the whole sitemap on its own and reports how far along it is.
