Another outstanding plugin from same developer who created Redis Object Cache Pro! The plugin is lightweight and effective for purging nginx cache, teaming this plugin with “syncthing” allows us to clear our caches across multiple servers in the pool. It’s part of our core.
Best plugin I’ve ever come across. Does the job, for free, asks nothing in return, and is insanely minimal. Till is a legend.
This plugin is the ONLY one that actually purges FastCGI cache without any impact to the website.
Easy to use, and Handy tool
