This plugin does not install nor configure a cache proxy. It acts as an interface with such services.
One common method of caching content for websites is via the use of reverse proxy caching. Common examples of this are Varnish and Nginx. These systems allow a website to update content and have the visitor’s experience cached without the need for complex plugins storing the files locally and using up a user’s disk space.
A reverse proxy cache is installed in front of a server and reviews requests. If the page being requested is already cached, it delivers the cached content. Otherwise it generates the page and the cache on demand.
The Proxy Cache Purge plugin sends a request to delete (aka flush) the cached data of a page or post every time it’s modified.
When content on a site is updated by WordPress, the plugin reaches out to the proxy cache service with the URL of the page, requesting the cache be deleted.
Not all page are deleted from the cache on every change. For example, when a post, page, or custom post type is edited, or a new comment is added, only the following pages will purge:
In addition, your entire cache will be deleted on the following actions:
Plugins can hook into the purge actions as well, to filter their own events to trigger a purge.
On a multisite network using subfolders, only network admins can purge the main site.
If you’re working on a site and need to turn off caching in one of two ways:
That will break cache on page loads. It is not recommended for production!
Purge
Purge commands let you empty the cache.
You can use the parameter --wildcard to empty everything from that URL down. So if you wanted to empty cache for all themes, you would do this:
Debug
Debugging can help you figure out why your cache isn’t working as well as it could. The default is for your home page, but you can pass any URL on your domain.
Available parameters:
DevMode
Development mode allows you to disable the cache, temporarily.
As of version 5, this plugin no longer uses any remote data.
Starting from $0 per month.
