Cache Autopilot

Cache Autopilot is a WordPress cache freshness plugin that keeps cached pages fresh after content changes — automatically. Instead of flushing everything on every save, it determines which pages are affected, purges those entries through your active cache plugin, and rebuilds them through controlled background warmup.

Cache Autopilot Free is available on WordPress.org: wordpress.org/plugins/cache-autopilot

How it works

Cache Autopilot does not replace cache plugins. Cache plugins handle storage and delivery. Cache Autopilot handles cache freshness — determining which cached pages need to refresh after something changes.

Lifecycle:

1. Detect changes
2. Resolve affected URLs
3. Purge through the active cache adapter
4. Queue warmup requests
5. Rebuild cache through paced background execution

Included engines

Cache Invalidator

Determines which WordPress pages are affected by a change and purges their cached entries without unnecessarily clearing the entire cache.

• Supported form-plugin propagation
• Manual targeting and fallback modes
• Developer filters for custom workflows
• PRO integrations for advanced content relationships, Elementor, WooCommerce, ACF, multilingual sites and timed invalidation

Cache Warmup

Rebuilds purged pages so visitors are less likely to hit cold cache entries.

Core capabilities include:

• Targeted preload for purged URLs
• Full-site cache preloading
• Auto-paced background execution via WP-Cron
• Priority ordering
• Diagnostics and run history

Integrations

Cache Autopilot works alongside supported WordPress cache plugins and uses their URL-level purge capabilities.

Compatibility depends on the cache plugin and hosting environment.

See Supported Integrations for the current compatibility list.

Who it’s for
