Understanding the Proxy Cache Purge Plugin

The Proxy Cache Purge plugin within Frame ensures that when you update content on your site, any outdated cached versions are automatically cleared so your visitors always see the latest version. No setup is required—this runs silently in the background.

How It Works

When you update content on your site—such as editing a post or page—this plugin sends a request to the proxy caching layer asking it to clear the old version. This ensures your changes show immediately to visitors.

It automatically purges cache for:

  • The edited post or page

  • The front page

  • Related categories, tags, or taxonomies

  • Associated RSS feeds

  • JSON API endpoints related to the content

The entire cache will also be purged if:

  • You change the site's theme

  • You click the Empty Cache button from the admin toolbar

Plugins can also hook into the purge process to trigger their own cache-clearing actions if needed.

Do I Need to Do Anything?

No. The Proxy Cache Purge plugin is already installed and activated on your Frame site. It runs automatically in the background and requires no setup or maintenance from site administrators.

You may occasionally see a banner message when content is updated—this simply confirms that the cache purge occurred successfully.

Why This Matters

Without this plugin, your visitors might still see outdated content even after updates are made. Proxy Cache Purge ensures that what people see on your site is always the most current version—without needing to manage or configure anything yourself.
