FastCGI Cache for Ploi

FastCGI Cache for Ploi is a WordPress plugin designed to help maintain the speed and freshness of Ploi-hosted websites by managing the Nginx FastCGI cache. The plugin addresses the challenge of keeping site content up to date for visitors without requiring manual cache purging after changes are made to the site. The tool works by connecting to Ploi through an API token, allowing users to specify the server and site they wish to target. It automatically flushes the FastCGI cache based on a range of content and configuration changes, including post publishing or updates, post deletions, comment activity, theme switches, Customizer saves, and navigation menu changes. To prevent excessive API calls, the plugin is able to coalesce multiple rapid changes into a single cache flush, which is particularly useful during bulk edits. For manual control, FastCGI Cache for Ploi provides a "Flush now" button, enabling users to trigger a cache purge on demand. It also maintains a log of recent cache flushes, showing what event triggered each flush and whether it was successful. Security is addressed by storing the Ploi API token encrypted at rest. This plugin is intended for administrators of WordPress sites hosted on Ploi who wish to automate cache management and ensure that their visitors always see the most current version of their site. The delivery is as a WordPress plugin, and setup involves connecting to the Ploi API and configuring the desired cache flush triggers.
