WPSDDC Cache Sweep

Documentation

The WPSDDC Cache Sweep WordPress Plugin is designed for on-demand WordPress cache maintenance. It helps editors clear supported caches and selected transients with confirmation. This is useful for controlled site cache cleanup during maintenance. Cache clearing does not replace a performance diagnosis.

For practical context on the WPSDDC Cache Sweep WordPress Plugin, read Core Web Vitals for Plugin Developers: Where to Start. The official reference on WordPress Object Cache explains related technical concepts.

Requirements and Compatibility

• WordPress 6.0 or later; PHP 8.1 or later.
• English and Spanish interface.
• Works without the general HQ plugin; active collection plugins share one WPSDDC menu.

Installation and First Steps

• Check requirements and use a test installation first.
• When the official ZIP is available to you, open Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin, select it and activate it.
• Open WPSDDC → Cache Sweep. The native Help tab includes instructions and support.

Configuration and Use

Detailed Behavior

Manually clear object caches, regular site transients and optional supported page-cache integrations.

Enable the tools under WPSDDC > Cache Sweep. The toolbar shortcut opens the native tools page; clearing requires an explicit nonce-protected POST. Separate controls show each operation and its scope. Regular database transients are removed in batches of 250 through Core APIs, preserving the database cron lock and network transients. Repeat a batch when more remain. Object-cache flushing uses the installed cache backend and can affect the whole cache, including network-wide data; Multisite requires a network administrator. Optional WP Rocket controls call only available documented public cleaning functions. No automatic scheduled cleanup, global assets, external requests, telemetry, private services or direct SQL deletion is added. Settings remain on removal.

The plugin uses local WordPress APIs and does not send telemetry. Settings are retained after deactivation or removal.
