Overview

This plugin puts your W3 Total Cache configuration on auto pilot.

It’s great when you have users that don’t have access to W3 Total Cache control but still need to purge the cache.

It’s also brilliant when you have created a blog for a customer, this way they won’t even know it’s there: All cache is purged automatically.

It’s absolutely great on MultiSite installations, especially when you allow untrusted users to create a blog.

What this plugin does:

On the front end:

  • No more W3 Total Cache comments in the HTML output

Behind the screens:

Purge cache, whenever:

  • a post is updated.
  • theme is changed.
  • a widget is updated or changed from position.
  • a sidebar is updated.
  • the theme is edited in Customizer.
  • the nav menu is updated.

MultiSite, if not Super-Ad…
