Description
The Akamai for WordPress plugin will automatically purge the cache using the new Fast Purge feature whenever you create or update a post.
With the Fast Purge API, you can automate your publishing flow to maximize performance and offload without compromising on freshness. Switching to a Hold ‘Til Told methodology, you can cache semi-dynamic content with long TTLs, and then refresh it in approximately 5 seconds with Fast Purge.
