Sunny

Plugin does what it says, but the constant nag messages are a joke.

Constant Nag Messages

I used to purge one by one or just purge all the cache from Cloudflare admin. Since I use this plugin, setting up Cloudflare it just something like set up and forget.

Smart plugin

Automatically purge Cloudflare cache, including cache everything rules.

Cache Warmer


Developer is helpful and responsive.If you have a sitemap, click the option for this, set depth to 1, decide your update interval (match it to the default cache expiration time) and you're good to go.I use this alongside NGINX page caching and Redis object caching.


Does the job!


I have been looking for a plugin like this for a long time. With Redis full page caching, they are only added to the cache on first load and then dropped after 4 hours in the cache. This is a really nicely made plugin that will preload these files into cache at regular intervals. It's an amazing plugin.


Perfect plugin

Visits website pages to warm (create) the cache if you have any caching solutions configured.
