FastCGI Cache Bust Overview --------------------------- [](#fastcgi-cache-bust-overview) FastCGI Cache Bust is a simple plugin that clears your entire FastCGI Cache any time an entry is saved. This is somewhat of a scortched earth approach to cache invalidation, but it ensure cache coherency.

Configuring FastCGI Cache Bust ------------------------------ [](#configuring-fastcgi-cache-bust) Click on the gear icon next to the plugin to configure it by adding the full absolute path to your Nginx FastCGI Cache directory. If you require more than one FastCGI Cache directory cleared, separate the paths with a comma (`,`).

You can also manually clear the FastCGI Cache via Craft's 'Clear Caches' tool FastCGI Cache Bust Roadmap -------------------------- [](#fastcgi-cache-bust-roadmap) Some things to do, and ideas for potential features: - We could invalidate only affected caches onElementSave instead of the entire cache Brought to you by [nystudio107](https://nystudio107.com) ### Health Score 33 — LowBetter than 72% of packages Maintenance19 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity22 Limited adoption so far Community9 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity67 Established project with proven stability Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 100% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
