A Fresher Cache adds an admin bar menu that gives easy access to functions that refresh (i.e, regenerate or invalidate) 
cached items. Out of the box, the plugin provides easy access to refresh items that WordPress Core caches; however, the true 
power of the plugin is its API that allows developers to easily add items to the menu that initiate custom functions that 
refresh cached items.
For instance, imagine that you wrote a function called “my_update_all_term_caches” that loops through all of the terms 
in your WordPress install and updates the cache for each item. You can add this function to the “Freshen” admin bar 
menu with the following API call:
<pre><code>function my_update_all_term_caches_menu_item() {
 $args = array(
 'id' => 'my-update-all-term-caches',
 'title' => 'Update Term Cache',
 'function' => 'my_update_all_term_caches'
 );

 afc_add_item( $args );
}
add_action( 'init', 'my_update_all_term_caches_menu_item' );
</code></pre>
This code will generate a menu item labelled “Update Term Cache” that creates a link that will run the function defined 
in the “function” key of the $args array (in this case, my_update_all_term_caches()).
The primary purpose of this plugin is to provide an easy tool for developers to refresh cached items when developing new 
features. Additionally, it can serve as a convenient tool for users to be able to update cached items when needed.
Note that this is not merely a wrapper for the admin bar API. Rather, it allows you to add items to the admin bar and provides 
all of the necessary coding that will link a callback function to a menu item. You can think of it as an extension of 
the admin bar that adds a very specific functionality. The plugin also uses the admin bar as intended and only adds a 
few extra arguments that support the functionality of this plugin.

Clear Cache Everywhere allows administrators to instantly clear various cache sources directly from the WordPress admin bar. This ensures changes are reflected immediately without waiting for cache expiration.
Features:
<ul>
<li>One-Click Cache Clearing: Clears multiple cache layers across WordPress, server, and browser.</li>
<li>Individual Clear Actions: Run specific cache clearing actions independently.</li>
<li>Admin Bar Access: Quick purge button in the WordPress admin bar (eraser icon).</li>
<li>Hosting Integration: Supports clearing hosting-level cache via configurable purge URL.</li>
<li>Third-Party Support: Clears cache for supported plugins and services.</li>
<li>Detailed Logging: Logs execution time for each action.</li>
<li>Developer Hooks: Add additional cache clearing actions via developer hooks.</li>
</ul>
By default, clearing the cache will execute the following actions:
<ul>
<li>Rewrite Rules – Flushes WordPress rewrite rules so permalink and routing changes apply immediately.</li>
<li>WordPress Object Cache – Clears the in-memory object cache used to store database query results.</li>
<li>Transients – Deletes all transients, forcing temporary data to regenerate on next load.</li>
<li>OPcache Reset – Resets PHP OPcache so compiled scripts reload from disk.</li>
<li>Varnish Cache – Sends a purge request to Varnish to invalidate reverse proxy cached pages.</li>
<li>Redis / Memcached – Flushes persistent object cache if Redis or Memcached is active.</li>
<li>Fragment Cache – Clears cached template fragments generated by themes or plugins.</li>
<li>REST API Cache – Removes cached REST responses to ensure endpoints return fresh data.</li>
<li>Sessions – Destroys active PHP sessions. Users may need to log in again.</li>
<li>Cookies – Removes site-related browser cookies set by WordPress or plugins.</li>
<li>Browser Cache – Forces browsers to revalidate and reload cached static assets.</li>
<li>Hosting Cache – Triggers a configured purge endpoint to clear host-level caching.</li>
</ul>
Integrations:
The plugin already supports clearing cache for the following third-party plugins:
<ul>
<li>Cornerstone</li>
<li>Elementor</li>
<li>WP Super Cache</li>
<li>W3 Total Cache</li>
<li>WP Rocket</li>
<li>LiteSpeed Cache</li>

<li>Comet Cache</li>
<li>WP Fastest Cache</li>
<li>Hummingbird</li>
<li>Nginx Helper</li>
<li>WP-Optimize</li>
</ul>
This plugin is ideal for developers, content managers, and site owners who need immediate cache flushing across multiple layers.
