Simplicity at its finest

This is a fantastic tool that works as it should and gets out of the way – always keeping the cache clean when needed. Thank you!!!

cPanel dropped the ball not having a good tried and true away to clear the NGINX cache via WordPress. Many cPanel accounts primary run a wordpress site or more. Thanks for this developer stepping up
