Description

The Cache Control addon automatically clears the cache of dozens of connected WordPress sites to MainWP whenever a core, plugin, or theme update occurs, eliminating the manual step in each panel. The integration recognizes popular cache plugins (WP Rocket, LiteSpeed Cache, W3 Total Cache, WP Fastest Cache, WP Super Cache, Autoptimize, Hummingbird, Breeze, Cache Enabler, NitroPack, among others) and also Cloudflare, with centralized purging triggered from the Dashboard.

Key Features

  • Automatic post-update cleanup
    Triggers a cache flush on each site after core, plugins, and themes updates applied by MainWP.
  • Broad compatibility with cache plugins
    Recognizes WP Rocket, LiteSpeed, W3 Total Cache, WP Fastest Cache, WP Super Cache, Hummingbird, Breeze, Autoptimize and more.
  • Integration with Cloudflare
    Activates cache purging at the Cloudflare edge alongside local cleanup on each connected site.
  • Batch cleanup via the Dashboard
    Runs the manual flush on multiple sites simultaneously from a single MainWP screen.
  • Widget on the Overview page
    Adds a dedicated panel on the Overview with status and shortcuts to trigger per-site cleanup.
  • Detailed execution logs
    Records each cache operation performed per site, making auditing and troubleshooting easier.
  • Per-site individual configuration
    Lets you adjust the extension behavior on each child site according to the installed cache plugin.

Benefits of Cache Control Extension

  • Always up-to-date content for visitors
    Ensures that changes published after updates appear without needing to open each site to clear cache.
  • Fewer clicks in the maintenance routine
    Centralizes the repetitive task in the Dashboard, reducing the time spent in mass update cycles.
  • Standardization across clients
    Applies the same purge policy to sites with different cache plugins, without parallel workflows.
  • Process traceability
    The logs let you prove to clients or the team that each site had its cache refreshed after the deploy.

Who Is It For?

  • Agencies and freelancers that manage dozens or hundreds of WordPress sites under MainWP.
  • Maintenance teams that apply batch updates and need to ensure the cache is invalidated on all sites.
  • Managed service providers that use different cache plugins (WP Rocket, LiteSpeed, W3 Total Cache, etc.) across different clients.

Built for people who work with large-scale maintenance, the addon closes the gap between the MainWP update cycle and the real delivery of content to visitors, automating purging in local cache plugins and at the Cloudflare edge. Consolidation into logs and widgets on the Overview turns a silent task into an auditable process within the Dashboard.
