Hestia Nginx Cache
Important: Hestia 1.6.12 fixes an issue where purging the cache could make the website unavailable, resulting in a 502 error. If you aren’t using this version, please upgrade! This plugin automatically purges the Nginx cache after you make a website change such as updating a post or changing your theme. You also have the ability to manually purge the cache using a button in the WordPress admin bar.
