<p>The Akamai for WordPress plugin will automatically purge the cache using the new Fast Purge feature whenever you create or update a post.</p>
<p>With the Fast Purge API, you can automate your publishing flow to maximize performance and offload without compromising on freshness. Switching to a Hold ‘Til Told methodology, you can cache semi-dynamic content with long TTLs, and then refresh it in approximately 5 seconds with Fast Purge.</p>

Akamai for WordPress

Akamai fixed the error that occurred if the plugin has not set the .edgerc file location (and/or the .edgerc file is missing). However, this plugin is still not very intuitive. Suggestions for improvement are:

	Inputs for .edgerc file creation. Don't depend on the user to place this file properly.
	Security suggestions/checks for .edgerc
	Cache clearing buttons
	Advanced configuration modifications besides basic WordPress modifications
