<li>Cache TTL (for every other page)</li>

This plugin also auto purges Varnish Cache / Nginx Proxy Cache when your site is modified.
Varnish Caching sends a PURGE request to Varnish Cache / Nginx Proxy Cache when a page or post is modified. This occurs when editing, publishing, commenting or deleting an item, and when changing themes. 
Not all pages are purged every time, depending on your Varnish / Nginx Proxy Cache configuration. When a post, page, or custom post type is edited, or a new comment is added, only the following pages will purge:
<ul>
<li>The front page</li>
<li>The post/page edited</li>
<li>Any categories or tags associated with the page</li>
</ul>
<a href="https://www.varnish-cache.org/" rel="nofollow ugc">Varnish Cache</a> / <a href="https://www.nginx.com/blog/nginx-caching-guide/" rel="nofollow ugc">Nginx Proxy Cache</a> is a web application accelerator also known as a caching HTTP reverse proxy. You install it in front of any server that speaks HTTP and configure it to cache the contents. This plugin does not install Varnish/Nginx for you, nor does it configure Varnish/Nginx for WordPress. It’s expected you already did that on your own using the provided config files.
