An object cache is a place for WordPress and WordPress extensions to store the results of complex operations. On subsequent loads, this data can be fetched from the cache, which will be must faster than dynamically generating it on every page load. The APC Object Cache backend is also compatible with Batcache, the powerful full page caching engine that runs on WordPress.com Be sure to read the installation instructions, as this is not a traditional plugin, and needs to be installed in a specific location.

This is useful when integrating FastPixel with custom plugins, WooCommerce, ACF, or any workflow that modifies content outside the standard WordPress editor. Example hooks: do_action(‘fastpixel/purge/all’); – Purges the entire site cache. do_action(‘fastpixel/purge/single’, [‘id’ => 123]); – Purges the cache for a single post, page, or taxonomy term. do_action(‘fastpixel/purge/url’, ‘https://example.com/my-landing-page/’); – Purges the cache for a specific URL.
