This plugin automatically purges the Nginx cache after you make a website change such as updating a post or changing your theme.
You also have the ability to manually purge the cache using a button in the WordPress admin bar.
I would like to recommend adding an option to remove OPcache, so that this is the only plugin that is installed in relation to Hestia, and it is good that it is an option that is only enabled for those who want it.
I recommend it to everyone! It does an excellent job as written in the description!
Seems to work as advertised. Nice job. Much appreciated.
HestiaCP and this plugin are delivering some of the fastest speeds I’ve seen in WordPress. Highly recommended.
This plugin and Hestia CP are an excellent combo for any one looking to host a website with the high speed of NGINX.
