👉 Launch Live Test

This plugin, NPP, allows WordPress users to manage Nginx Cache Purge and Preload (FastCGI, Proxy, SCGI, UWSGI) operations directly from the WordPress admin dashboard, enhancing website performance and caching efficiency.

Unlike other solutions that depend on Nginx modules, NPP directly manages cache files without needing to interact with Nginx.

➡️ This approach provides the following benefits:

⚡ Faster – No waiting for Nginx to process cache purges; works without interacting with Nginx.
🌐 Greater flexibility – Works seamlessly across different architectures, including containerized environments where Nginx may run on a host, in a separate container, or distributed across systems.
🤖 Automations – NPP is flexible for server-side automations, making it easy to integrate into your workflow.

⚠️ IMPORTANT:

NPP is feature rich, completely free & functional and great for users who manage their own servers and have technical know-how. For those with less technical experience, pre-made Bash scripts are available, making it easy to get started and benefit from the plugin.

➡️ For detailed integration steps and guidance:

• Visit the NPP Main Development Repository
• Visit the safexec Main Development Repository
• Explore NPP Containerized for easy deployments and developing NPP locally.
• Refer to the FAQ or the plugin’s Help tab for further instructions.
