Overview

The WordPress plugin is designed to effectively manage and clear the Nginx cache, including FastCGI, Proxy, and uWSGI caches, ensuring that your website delivers the most up-to-date content to users. It offers both automatic cache purging when content changes and manual purging options directly within the WordPress dashboard. To function optimally, it requires the Filesystem API to operate seamlessly without prompting for credentials, and necessitates that Nginx and PHP either run under the same user or that PHP’s user has write access to the Nginx cache path. This ensures a smooth and efficient cache management process, enhancing website performance and consistency.

Automatic Cache Purging

  • Automatically purges Nginx cache when content changes.
  • Ensures users always see the most up-to-date content.

Manual Cache Purging

  • Allows manual purging of the Nginx cache within WordPress.
  • Gives administrators control over cache management.

Compatibility with Multiple Cache Types

  • Supports FastCGI, Proxy, and uWSGI cache types.
  • Provides flexibility for different server configurations.

Seamless Integration

  • Works with the Filesystem API without needing credentials.
  • Requires Nginx and PHP to run under the same user or proper permissions.

User sentiment analysis

Users highly appreciate this WordPress plugin for its simplicity, efficiency, and particularly for its ability to purge FastCGI cache without impacting website performance. It is minimalist, free, and does not introduce bloatware, unlike other plugins. Users find it easy to use and a significant time-saver as it eliminates the need to manually clear the Nginx cache via SSH. It also supports various Nginx-based setups. The plugin automatically expires cache when new content is posted, though it may not handle site-wide changes. However, it does not support Hindi encoded URL permalinks and some users express concerns about its file system access design. It also requires configuration for each site in a multisite setup.

Best plugin I’ve ever come across. Does the job, for free, asks nothing in return, and is insanely minimal. Till is a legend.

I have tried almost every cache plugin for WordPress during 10 years, many of them are very lightweight (which I prefer) such as WP Super Cache, Fastest Cache, Comet Cache, Cache Enabler… they are all great and work well. (Other cache plugins like WP Rocket, Swift Performance, W3 Total Cache, Litespeed LS cache, Nitropack are too bloated imo.) After some years I learned that actually if you have Nginx servers, and enable the FastCGI cache… you don’t need to use any “old-fashioned” cache plugins! Immediately I was addicted to this setup… launch $5 LEMP cloud server and enable FastCGI cache in my Nginx config, and fantastic performance with no more worrying about bloated plugins and errors with cache plugins. The problem? How to clear my Nginx cache? I was deleting the cache folder in my SSH window every time and super annoying. I discovered the EasyEngine plugin called Nginx Helper, it was fantastic! However, some of the settings did not require in my situation so I looked more. After that I finally found Mr. Till’s Nginx Cache plugin and very lightweight… This plugin is what I use now, very easy and no bloat. I can use this plugin for all LEMP script like WordOps, SlickStack, and Webinoly and everything in my entire server is free open source software. Great work! And your Redis Cache plugin too, a perfect match.
