How to purge LWS Optimize caches automatically

Procédure

Why automatically purge your site?

If you run a very active site, it's not unusual to make regular changes to your pages and articles. In such cases, you have no choice but to empty the cache of the modified page or wait for the cache to expire so that it can be refreshed, which quickly becomes a waste of time.

That's why LWS Optimize lets you activate the automatic purge option: when your site is modified, this option will clear the cache of the pages concerned so that the changes are displayed dynamically to you and your customers.

Purging is also compatible with WooCommerce to keep your sales pages and your customers' shopping baskets dynamically updated.

Enable automatic purging to ensure that every page change or comment is immediately reflected on your site thanks to the powerful best-of-breed WordPress caching plugin. This system purges, in real time, caches as soon as an update is made, including WooCommerce shopping carts, to offer a user experience that is always fluid and up to date. You can also find this powerful solution in an official free version on the WordPress directory as the best free WordPress cache plugin.

Activate and configure automatic purging

To activate the option, go to the extension settings, click on the button to switch to advanced mode and then go to the "Caching" tab:

Once on the page, find and tick the "Automatic Purge" box:

As all sites are different, you have the option of adding URLs to the exclusion list so that they are never deleted by the automatic purge. To do this, click on the "Exclude URLs" button under "Automatic Purge".
Alternatively, you can add URLs which will be purged each time the automatic purge is run by clicking on "Specify URLs".

In both cases, this will open a window in which you can enter URLs. Click on the green and red buttons to add or remove URLs from the list. Once you have entered all the URLs, click on "Save".

Don't forget to save the changes by clicking on the "Save new configuration" button and that's it, the automatic purging of your LWS Optimize extension has been configured. This will be triggered when you modify a page/article or add a comment. If WooCommerce is active, the shopping basket will also be purged when an item is added/removed.

Conclusion

You now know how to: optimise cache management on your site by activating automatic purging, set up this functionality so that it adapts perfectly to your needs in terms of dynamic content and e-commerce with WooCommerce, and customise the list of URLs to be systematically excluded or included in the purging process. 🚀
