Check whether feed url
is stale.
Returns false if it's stale but last-check-attempt is recent
Low-level part of is_stale
that doesn't automatically load the feed overrides (needed to get last_checked
).
Useful if you've already loaded them yourself (or confirmed they're missing) to avoid doing it twice.
Touch a 'last-check-attempt' timestamp file for this feed. This prevents us from repeatedly trying to download a failing feed many times in a short period.
