The Diglin_Crawler Magento 1.x extension allows to crawl all products, categories and cms pages to warmup the cache for example. It's based on the Nexcess Turpentine warmup cache without dependencies with Varnish and with some additional features

Features

• Add cms, products or categories urls to queue as soon as they are saved in backend
• Run all the day during 5 minutes each 10 minutes to reduce server resources consumption
