Admin dashboard

The admin module under Settings → Extensions → Speed Boost is your single entry point for runtime stats, configuration and diagnostics. It opens on the Dashboard page and exposes everything else from the left sidebar.

Dashboard page

Top row — at-a-glance metrics for the current sales-channel scope:

Total cached entries — count, broken down by type (Products / Categories / Listings / CMS / Buybox)
Total cached size — what’s actually on disk / in Redis / in APCu (uses real disk size for Filesystem; database-reported size for Redis and APCu)
Total original size — what the cache would weigh without compression
Total space saved — difference between original and cached
Average generation time — average MISS render
Average cache-hit time — average HIT serve

Per-type panels show the same metrics scoped to that type, plus a Clear button.

Quick actions:

Clear all — purges the whole cache
Start warmup — opens the warmup wizard (see Cache warming)

A live warmup-in-progress panel takes over the top half whenever a warmup is running.

Configuration tabs

The Config route group has four sub-tabs:

Dashboard

Runtime knobs:

Cache enabled (default: on)
Cache TTL (default: 1 day)
max-age / s-maxage / CDN-Cache-Control (defaults: 0 / 6h / disabled)
Listing Load Mode — Skeleton (full overlay) vs Background refresh (silent in-place update)
Listing Background Replacement — Instant vs Fade (300 ms) when using Background refresh
Cacheable Routes — the seven per-type toggles
Query parameter filtering — ignoredQueryParams (see Query parameter filtering)

Core

Infrastructure:

Cache Invalidation Mode — Manual / Basic / Extended / Precise / Smart
Enable Invalidation Log
Debug Mode — adds X-P2Lab-Cache-* response headers
Cache Adapter — Filesystem / Redis / APCu
Redis DSN + Cache Namespace
Enable Cache Compression + Compression Level (1 / 3 / 6 / 9)

Reverse proxy

Varnish / xkey settings:

Enable Varnish Cache
Xkey Invalidation Strategy — Default / Precise / Smart
Split xkey Headers
Shorten xkey Tags
Enable Reverse Proxy Log
Xkey Tag Blocklist — 11 togglable categories

Help

Static reference content — links back into the docs you’re reading, plus a copy-paste-ready Varnish VCL snippet for the xkey configuration.

Sub-pages

Each sub-page is reachable from the left sidebar and has its own list/detail layout.

Cache entries

Browse every cache entry stored in the database (p2lab_cache_entry) — URL, type, sales channel, original size, cached size, compression ratio, generation time, hit time. Use this to investigate why a specific URL was or wasn’t cached.

Invalidation log

Every invalidation event recorded when Enable Invalidation Log is on. Each entry shows:

The triggering entity (type, ID, number)
The fields that changed (Smart mode only)
The resulting tag set
The number of cache entries purged

Reverse-proxy log

Every xkey purge sent to Varnish when Enable Reverse Proxy Log is on. Two specialised views complement the standard list:

Entity timeline — every purge a specific entity has triggered, in chronological order
URL flow — every purge that has affected a specific URL, with the originating entity

Warmup history

Every cache-warmup run. List view shows status, total / checked / failed counts and timing. Detail view shows individual failed URLs with their HTTP status.

Sales-channel scope

The page-header sales-channel switcher applies to every page in the module. Pick a specific channel to filter metrics, logs and warmups to that channel; pick “All sales channels” for global numbers.
