Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Nginx Cache Purge Preload
Yes. NPP is designed exclusively for Nginx web servers running on Linux. It does not work on Apache, shared hosting, or environments where shell_exec is disabled.
No. The ngx_cache_purge module is optional. When available, NPP uses it as the fastest purge path (HTTP Purge). If it is not present, NPP automatically falls back to a URL index lookup and then a full filesystem scan. Nothing breaks either way.
Mostly basic, built-in shell tools are required. wget is required for cache preloading. For hardened shell execution, safexec is highly recommended — see the Help tab for installation instructions.
The most common reasons are: shell_exec is disabled, the PHP-FPM user lacks write permission to the Nginx cache directory, or nginx.conf is not detected. See the Help tab for a full environment checklist and solutions.
This is the most common issue in environments where the WEBSERVER-USER (nginx/www-data) and PHP-FPM-USER are different. NPP provides a one-liner bash script to automate the fix using bindfs on monolithic servers. For containerized environments, users can review the full configuration setup via NPP Containerized See the Help tab → Permission Issues section or the GitHub repository for details.
Yes. NPP has built-in Cloudflare APO Sync that mirrors every purge to Cloudflare’s edge cache automatically. Requires the official Cloudflare WordPress plugin. Enable it under Settings.
Yes. NPP supports bidirectional sync with the Redis Object Cache plugin. A Purge All in NPP flushes Redis, and a Redis flush triggers a full Nginx cache purge. Enable it under Settings.
Yes. NPP includes built-in WooCommerce Auto-Purge for stock changes and order events, and supports purging the Shop page as a related URL when a product is updated.
Yes, but disable page caching in other plugins to avoid conflicts. You can keep their frontend optimization features (minification, lazy loading, CDN) active. See the Help tab for details.
NPP restricts cache paths to prevent accidental deletion of system files. Allowed roots are /dev/shm/, /tmp/, /var/, and /cache/. The path must be at least one level deep (e.g. /var/cache/nginx). Full details in the Help tab.
