Sunny

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.

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!

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