<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

The Akamai for WordPress plugin integrates automatically with Akamai to purge the cache when you create or update a post/page.
