Plugin Description
Blizhost Varnish HTTP Purge sends a request to the Blizhost servers clear the cache every time the content of your site is modified. This occurs when publishing, editing, commenting or deleting a page or post, and when changing themes.
Varnish is an HTTP accelerator designed for content-heavy dynamic web sites as well as heavily consumed APIs. In contrast to other web accelerators, such as Squid, which began life as a client-side cache, or Apache and nginx, which are primarily origin servers, Varnish was designed as an HTTP accelerator. Varnish is focused exclusively on HTTP, unlike other proxy servers that often support FTP, SMTP and other network protocols.
Varnish is used by high-profile, high-traffic websites including Wikipedia, online newspaper sites such as The New York Times, The Guardian, The Hindu, Corriere della Sera, social media and content sites such as Facebook, Twitter, Vimeo, and Tumblr. Of the Top 10K sites in the web, around a tenth use the software.
Open a ticket in Blizhost and request the Varnish Cache in your account before using this plugin.
Not all pages are purged every time. When a post, page, or custom post type is edited, or a new comment is added, only the following pages will purge:
- The front page
- The post/page edited
- Any categories or tags associated with the page
In addition, your entire cache will be purged on the following actions:
- Changing permalinks
- Changing themes
- Press the ‘Purge Varnish’ button on the dashboard
- Press the ‘Purge Varnish – Blizhost’ button on the toolbar
Please note: On a multisite network using subfolders, only the network admins can purge the main site.
