PixelParade Smart Purge for Breeze Cache

Description

By default, Breeze aggressively caches content. When you update a custom post type, it only clears the cache for that specific post. This leaves your important hub pages – like post grids, custom taxonomy archives, and page builder layouts – serving stale content to users.

PixelParade Smart Purge for Breeze Cache is an unofficial add-on for Breeze Cache. It acts as a traffic controller for your cache. The built-in Auto-Scanner detects which pages are querying specific post types, ensuring Breeze safely clears the cache for the parent pages and associated taxonomies whenever a post is updated.

Key Features

  • Smart Auto-Scanner: Automatically detects Gutenberg, Elementor, Bricks, Beaver Builder, Oxygen, WPBakery, and Divi post grids to map custom post types to their respective hub pages.
  • Manual Overrides: Easily define custom URL paths that should be purged when a specific post type is updated.
  • Synchronous Cloudflare Purging: Optionally bypass the default WP-Cron delay so cache purges happen instantly on « Update ».
  • Automated Taxonomy Purging: Automatically detects and purges associated taxonomy archive URLs when a post is modified.
  • Frontend Breeze toolbar: Logged-in editors see the Breeze purge menu on the public site, plus per-page clear cache.

Installation

  1. Upload the plugin folder to /wp-content/plugins/, or install through the WordPress plugins screen.
  2. Activate the plugin through the Plugins screen in WordPress.
  3. Ensure the Breeze cache plugin is active.
  4. Navigate to Settings > Smart Purge to run your first Smart Scan and configure your mappings.

FAQ

Does this replace the Breeze cache plugin?

No. This is an unofficial add-on for Breeze Cache. Breeze must be installed and active. PixelParade is not affiliated with Cloudways or Breeze.

Which page builders does the Auto-Scanner detect?

Native Gutenberg blocks, Elementor, Bricks Builder, Beaver Builder, Oxygen (JSON meta), WPBakery, and Divi (shortcode grids). Other builders can use manual URL mappings in the settings screen.

Avis

This plugin has saved me from some embarrassing caching issues with Breeze. Before this plugin, I would have clients reaching out about shortcodes/unrendered code stuck in cache after making updates. This plugin auto scans all nested query loops that might get cached, and clears it when a page is cleared that contains them. Super useful, and solves a problem that I was dealing with regularly.
