This is a fantastic tool that works as it should and gets out of the way - always keeping the cache clean when needed. Thank you!!!

Getting cPanel and NGINX cache talking
cPanel dropped the ball not having a good tried and true away to clear the NGINX cache via WordPress. Many cPanel accounts primary run a wordpress site or more. Thanks for this developer stepping up and getting an in WordPress NGINX clear cache option enabled in WordPress dashboard. Would be great to get some intellegnet cache control to clear the cache for when pages/posts or products are updated. Not sure the nginx cache allows for the fine grain purging though.
