Overview

When you manage several WordPress sites, clearing cache on each one can take time, especially after updates. MainWP Cache Control Extension brings cache management into the MainWP dashboard, where you can clear caches for multiple connected sites at once or select sites for manual cache clearing.

The extension can clear cache automatically after core, theme, or plugin updates. It works with caching solutions including Breeze, LiteSpeed Cache, WP Fastest Cache, W3 Total Cache, WP Rocket, and Cloudflare. A dashboard interface and activity logs help you review cache-clearing operations across your sites.

Features

  • Clear cache in bulk: Clear caches across multiple connected WordPress sites from the MainWP dashboard with one action, reducing repetitive site-by-site work.
  • Purge after updates: Set cache clearing to run after WordPress core, theme, or plugin updates, so visitors can see current site content.
  • Manage selected sites: Clear cache manually for selected sites from the Manage Sites page or through Cache Control widgets.
  • Support caching tools: Use the extension with Breeze, LiteSpeed Cache, WP Fastest Cache, W3 Total Cache, WP Rocket, and Cloudflare.
  • Review cache activity: Use the dashboard interface and logs to review cache-clearing operations and see information about refresh events.
  • Check site cache status: The MainWP Abilities API can report a child site's detected cache solution, last reported purge, and automatic purge configuration.

Best for

  • Agencies managing multiple WordPress sites
  • Freelancers maintaining client websites
  • Site owners using the MainWP dashboard

Changelog

Version 5.3 — 23 September 2026

  • Fixed Strengthened cache purge authorization, site validation, mixed-result reporting, and bulk-run reliability.
  • Fixed Reading a Cloudflare key saved by an older extension version no longer deletes it during migration to encrypted storage, and bearer token reads leave the stored key untouched.
  • Fixed A failed credential save or delete can no longer leave the stored Cloudflare key or token undecryptable; the old key file is kept until the new value is confirmed stored.
  • Fixed Bulk purge runs keep per-site results separate and keep retry available after mixed or failed outcomes.
  • New Site cache status ability for the MainWP Abilities API, reporting a child site's detected cache solution, last reported purge, and auto-purge configuration.
  • Improved Improved Cloudflare enablement handling when no applicable settings are configured.
