## Description

One common method of caching content for websites is via the use of reverse proxy
caching. Common examples of this are [Varnish](https://www.varnish-cache.org/) and
[Nginx](https://www.nginx.com/). These systems allow a website to update content
and have the visitor’s experience cached without the need for complex plugins storing
the files locally and using up a user’s disk space.

The Remote Cache Purger plugin sends a request to delete (aka flush) the cached 
data of a page or post to remote server(s).

#### How It Works

Manually

## Installation

No special instructions apply.

#### Requirements

 * A server based proxy cache service (only Nginx for now) which responds to PURGE
   request.

## FAQ

### Can I delete the entire cache?

Yes and you can do it in multiple ways.

 1. Click the Purge ALL Remote Cache in Top Bar

    will be purged
