Overview

Anyone who looks after several WordPress sites knows the routine: run updates, then visit each site to clear its cache so visitors see current content. MainWP Cache Control Extension takes over that repeated step. It refreshes the cache on your connected sites when core, theme or plugin updates happen, and it lets you clear cache for many sites at once with a single action.

It works with the caching tools you already use, so you do not need to replace them. The fact that it supports Cloudflare and plugins such as Breeze, LiteSpeed Cache, WP Fastest Cache, W3 Total Cache and WP Rocket means mixed setups across a network stay manageable. Logs and dashboard views show what happened on each purge, and the same approach applies whether you run a few sites or many.

Features

  • Automatic purge after updates: Cache is refreshed on your connected WordPress sites when core, theme or plugin updates occur, so you no longer have to clear each site by hand after maintenance.
  • One-click bulk clearing: Select multiple sites and clear their caches in a single action, which replaces the repetitive job of visiting each site separately.
  • Works with popular caching plugins: Supports Breeze, LiteSpeed Cache, WP Fastest Cache, W3 Total Cache, WP Rocket and others, so you can keep the caching tool each site already uses.
  • Cloudflare support: Cloudflare is supported alongside caching plugins, letting you include it in the same cache-clearing workflow from your MainWP Dashboard.
  • Manual control when needed: Clear cache for selected sites from the Manage Sites page or through Cache Control widgets whenever you want to act outside the automatic process.
  • Logs of cache activity: A dashboard and logs record each cache refresh event, so you can check what was cleared and review the results of bulk runs site by site.
  • Cache status for each site: Through the MainWP Abilities API, you can see a child site's detected cache solution, its last reported purge and its auto-purge configuration.
  • Retry after mixed results: Bulk purge runs keep results separate for each site, and retry stays available if some sites succeed and others fail.

Best for

  • Agencies managing many client WordPress sites
  • Freelancers who already use the MainWP Dashboard
  • Site managers running mixed caching plugins and Cloudflare
