Build at deploy
Key pages ready the moment the site is deployed
A site renders a page on its first visit and then keeps it cached. With the Build at deploy switch, chosen pages are built while a new version of the site is deployed, so even the first visitor gets them at once.
The screens in this chapter come from the VMHub demo, where you can look around yourself.
Where the Build at deploy switch is
You find it in every page's form, in the right panel under the status. It applies to every published language version of the page. A site's homepages are always built, ticked or not. Only a site admin may change it.
When to switch it on
Use it for the pages most visitors head to: the main landing pages, pricing, contact or a campaign that starts with the deployment. Leave it off for article archives and pages few people read. They are built on their first visit and are just as fast from then on.
