FastCGI Cache for Ploi
FastCGI Cache for Ploi keeps your Ploi-hosted site fast and fresh. When you publish or update content, it calls the Ploi API to flush your site’s Nginx FastCGI cache automatically, so visitors never see stale pages — and you never have to purge by hand.
What it does
- Flushes the FastCGI cache automatically on the events you choose: post publish/update, post deletion, comments, theme switch, Customizer saves, and navigation-menu changes.
- Coalesces bursts of changes into a single flush so a bulk edit doesn’t hammer the API.
- One-click Flush now button for manual purges.
- A Recent flushes log so you can see what triggered each flush and whether it succeeded.
- Stores your Ploi API token encrypted at rest.
How it works
Connect the plugin to Ploi with a Ploi API token, pick the server and site to target, and choose which events should trigger a flush. From then on it runs in the background.
This plugin requires a third-party service (the Ploi API) to function — see the External services section below.
External services
This plugin connects to the Ploi API (https://ploi.io), a third-party service, to flush your site’s Nginx FastCGI cache. This connection is required for the plugin to do its job.
When data is sent to Ploi
- When you click Connect — to validate your token and list your servers.
- When you select a server — to list that server’s sites.
- When a flush runs — either automatically (on a content change you enabled) or manually (the Flush now button).
What data is sent to Ploi
- Your Ploi API token — sent as an authorization header on every request.
- The server ID and site ID you selected — sent in the request URL when listing sites and when flushing.
- The flush request itself — an instruction to purge the selected site’s FastCGI cache.
No post content, personal data, or visitor information is sent to Ploi. Requests are made to https://ploi.io/api/....
