We have updated the Peakhour WordPress plugin with automatic cache tag generation. The update is designed to help keep cached WordPress content accurate without forcing full cache clears for routine content changes. We have also checked compatibility with the latest versions of WordPress and PHP.
What are Cache Tags?
Cache tags are labels that CDNs such as Peakhour use to manage cached content more precisely. Instead of clearing the whole cache when one page changes, you can purge only the content associated with the relevant tag. Visitors get the updated content, while the rest of the site can continue to be served from cache.
A Cache Tag Example
Suppose you run a site with a home page, product pages, and blog articles. Without cache tags, updating one product page or article may require clearing the entire cache. With cache tags, each part of the site can use its own tag, such as "homepage," "product," and "blog." When you update content, you only need to purge the cache for the affected tag. That means less unnecessary cache invalidation and a faster site for visitors.
Automatic Cache Tags in the Peakhour WordPress Plugin
The updated Peakhour WordPress plugin generates cache tags automatically for your site's content. When you update content in the WordPress admin, the plugin sends the relevant purge requests to Peakhour. The result is more targeted cache clearing without extra manual work.
How to Get Started with Automatic Cache Tags
- Update to the latest version of the Peakhour WordPress plugin.
- Follow the instructions to configure cache tags in the Peakhour admin.
- Flush your cache.
After that, the plugin generates cache tags and sends purge requests to Peakhour whenever you update content in the WordPress admin.
