• The description says: “Adds a button to the bottom of front-end pages so you can force cache creation of any site page without waiting for it to build manually.”

    OK, first of all, the Plugin really adds a button to the admin-panel in the WP-frontend. I didn’t try the option with deactivated admin-panel where the button should show up at the botoom of each page. But I think it also works. First star.

    If you click the button the Swift Performance cache is cleared. Second star.

    But it is completely cleared. You start a complete cache rebuilding process, which can take several hours with big pages or Woocommerce-Shops with a few thousand items. Damn, this is p.i.t.a…

    Maybe exacly this is meant in the description but not said. OK, to be honest, not what I read… to be even more honest, I think the real problem is a misunderstandable description (maybe only for non native speakers) in combination with my just average knowlege of the english language.
    But I read kind of: Press the “magic button” an only the cache of this SINGLE page/post/article/whatever is refreshed. Not the damn whole Website.
    THIS function would be really useful. In fact Swift Performance already supports refreshing single items (even the Lite-Version), but you can only do this within the Swift-Dashboard. Really fuzzy.

    I deleted the plugin, ’cause it only provides a function I already have. As long as the admin-panel is activated I can clear the cache with the Swift-Menu and don’t need one more plugin. So it is totally useless for my way of working with WP an Swift Performance.

  • Hallo, Rohe,

    You must have misunderstood the aim of the plugin, as it is not purging/clearing the cache but rather triggering the Swift Performance plugin to actually create a cached version for that specific page. The only thing this add-on does is to create a button with a link of the same page, appending ?force-cache to the end of the URL.

    If you had all your cache regenerated because of a single click, you must have pressed the wrong button, or Swift Performance have changed their logic in an unexpected manner, which I doubt.

    Anyway, I’m sorry that you felt mislead by the description of the plugin, but please – next time ask in the support forums before assuming a plugin is broken or useless.

    All the best,

    Vladimir
