## Descrição

**Stop manually clearing cache after WordPress changes.**

Cache Autopilot works alongside a supported cache plugin. Your cache plugin knows
how to purge cached pages. _Cache Autopilot adds the missing context: which frontend
pages were actually affected by the change._

When content or shared site elements change, Cache Autopilot determines which pages
need to refresh, asks your cache plugin to purge those URLs, and preloads them safely
in the background. Unaffected pages stay cached where possible.

**Configure Cache Autopilot once. Your client publishes normally. The right pages
refresh.**

Watch the full 2-minute overview, or jump straight to the [integration demos](https://youtu.be/ExgS3oXsPbc?si=kuSqMk8xEDrkaygZ&t=51).

_The video includes examples from both Cache Autopilot Free and PRO._

Cache Autopilot helps reduce:

 * **Stale pages after updates** — shared content refreshes where it actually appears.
 * **Manual cache clearing** — no chasing individual URLs or clearing the whole 
   cache just to be safe.
 * **Cold-cache traffic** — unaffected pages can stay cached while purged pages 
   are preloaded in the background.

#### Why WordPress cache can stay stale

A cache plugin can efficiently purge a URL, but it cannot always know every other
page where changed content appears.

A post may appear in a Query Loop on a non-archive page. A synced pattern, template
part, shortcode, form, widget or custom block may be reused across the site. WooCommerce
product data can appear on shop and taxonomy pages. A shared Elementor component
or template can affect multiple frontend URLs.

Cache Autopilot resolves those connections and refreshes the affected cached pages.
If the full impact cannot be determined safely, it can fall back more broadly rather
than knowingly leave stale content behind.

#### What you get with Cache Autopilot Free

Cache Autopilot Free is fully usable on its own — it is not a trial.

 * **Gutenberg & block theme support** — Site Editor templates, template parts, 
   synced patterns, Navigation and global styles. [Learn more](https://wpcacheautopilot.com/docs/supported-integrations/#gutenberg)
 * **WooCommerce support** — products, variations, Shop, product categories and 
   tags, grouped products, upsells and related storefront targets. [Learn more](https://wpcacheautopilot.com/docs/supported-integrations/#woocommerce)
 * **Posts and custom post types** — refresh changed singular content and configured
   target pages.
 * **Archive targeting & pagination** — independently refresh post type, taxonomy
   and native Post date archives, with optional paginated archive pages. [Archive settings](https://wpcacheautopilot.com/docs/cache-invalidator/#post-type-archive)·
   [Pagination behavior](https://wpcacheautopilot.com/docs/cache-invalidator/#paginated-archive-warmup)
 * **Form plugin support** — automatically find pages using changed Contact Form
   7, WPForms, Gravity Forms and Ninja Forms. [Learn more](https://wpcacheautopilot.com/docs/supported-integrations/#form-plugins-compatibility)
 * **Site-wide WordPress changes** — menus, widgets, Customizer changes, theme changes
   and relevant WordPress settings.
 * **Classic themes and custom layouts** — standard content works automatically;
   targeting and developer filters cover custom setups.
 * **Manual targeting** — explicitly choose pages or post types that should refresh
   when content changes.
 * **Developer filters** — map post, option, widget/sidebar, meta and custom changes
   to affected frontend pages. [Developer reference](https://wpcacheautopilot.com/docs/developer-reference/#filters)
 * **Background cache preload** — purged pages are rebuilt through paced HTTP requests
   instead of being left cold. [Warmup and pacing](https://wpcacheautopilot.com/docs/cache-warmup/#batch-execution-and-pacing)

#### Supported cache plugins

Cache Autopilot currently works with:

 * [LiteSpeed Cache](https://wordpress.org/plugins/litespeed-cache/) (Free)
 * [WP Rocket](https://wp-rocket.me/)
 * [WP Fastest Cache](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-fastest-cache/) (Free) – 
   requires 1.5.2+
 * [WP Optimize](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-optimize/) (Free)
 * [Speed Optimizer](https://wordpress.org/plugins/sg-cachepress/) (Free)
 * [FlyingPress](https://flyingpress.com/)
 * [SpeedyCache](https://wordpress.org/plugins/speedycache/) (Free)
 * [Breeze](https://wordpress.org/plugins/breeze/) (Free)
 * [Cache Enabler](https://wordpress.org/plugins/cache-enabler/) (Free)

A supported cache plugin is required. Cache Autopilot depends on reliable URL-level
cache purging rather than replacing your cache plugin.

[See cache adapter compatibility and setup notes](https://wpcacheautopilot.com/docs/supported-integrations/#cache-adapters).

#### How it works

 1. Something changes in WordPress.
 2. Cache Autopilot determines which frontend URLs are affected.
 3. Your supported cache plugin purges those URLs.
 4. Cache Autopilot preloads the purged pages safely in the background.

This applies to targeted content changes as well as broader events such as shared
template, navigation or presentation changes.

#### Archive and pagination support

Post type archives, taxonomy archives and native Post date archives can be enabled
independently for each configured post type.

Optional archive pagination can refresh a bounded number of additional pages beginning
with page 2. During warmup, pagination stops at the first page that does not exist
instead of requesting deeper pages unnecessarily.

Date archives include affected year, month and day URLs. If a Post’s publication
date changes, both the old and new date archives refresh.

[See archive targeting and pagination settings](https://wpcacheautopilot.com/docs/cache-invalidator/#post-type-archive).

#### Background cache preload

Cache Autopilot does not just purge affected pages and leave them cold. Purged URLs
are queued for background preload with automatic pacing based on server response
times.

Full warmups can rebuild the site after broader cache purges, while targeted warmups
rebuild only the affected URLs. Important pages can be prioritized, URLs are deduplicated,
and run history shows what was warmed or could not be reached.

[Run history](https://wpcacheautopilot.com/docs/cache-warmup/#logging-and-run-history)

#### Cache Autopilot PRO

PRO adds deeper awareness for sites where content is reused through builders, relationships
or multiple languages:

 * **[Elementor](https://wpcacheautopilot.com/docs/supported-integrations/#elementor)**—
   Elementor 4.3 ready. Supports reusable Components, Global Widgets, Saved Templates,
   Theme Builder templates, Loop Items, Popups, nested references, Display Conditions,
   Atomic Default Styles and Elementor MCP workflows.
    - [Watch targeted cache refresh for Elementor in action](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VfUHFH6KgyY)
 * **[ACF relationships](https://wpcacheautopilot.com/docs/supported-integrations/#advanced-custom-fields-acf)**—
   follow ACF relationship and post object fields to refresh connected content.
 * **Advanced content relationships** — extend refresh propagation to custom relationship
   models and data structures.
 * **[Multilingual](https://wpcacheautopilot.com/docs/supported-integrations/#multilingual-compatibility)**—
   WPML, Polylang and TranslatePress support, including translated target URLs and
   localized post type, taxonomy, date and paginated archives.
 * **[Timed cache refresh](https://wpcacheautopilot.com/docs/cache-invalidator/#timed-invalidation)**—
   refresh selected content on a schedule.
 * **[Access control](https://wpcacheautopilot.com/docs/cache-invalidator/#access-control)**—
   grant Cache Autopilot access by role or individual user.
 * **PRO developer extensions** — additional relationship, multilingual and resolver
   filters.

#### Designed to work safely alongside your cache

Cache Autopilot does not store or serve cached pages and does not replace your caching
plugin. It uses the supported cache plugin to purge affected URLs, then rebuilds
those pages through normal frontend HTTP requests.

Targeted refresh keeps unrelated pages cached whenever possible. When precise targeting
is not safe, Cache Autopilot can broaden the refresh instead of silently leaving
stale content behind.

Background preload is paced, and every run can be inspected in the Cache Warmup 
log. Support Debug Mode provides additional diagnostics when needed.

## FAQ

### Is Cache Autopilot a WordPress caching plugin?

No. You still need a supported cache plugin. Cache Autopilot determines which cached
URLs need to refresh, asks the cache plugin to purge them, and preloads those pages
again.

### Why does my WordPress cache still show old content after an update?

The changed URL may not be the only cached page displaying that content. Query Loops,
archives, shared blocks, templates, forms, widgets, WooCommerce data and builder
components can all make one change visible on multiple URLs.

Cache Autopilot resolves those affected pages and refreshes them through your existing
cache plugin.

### Does Cache Autopilot clear the entire WordPress cache after every update?

Usually not. It targets affected URLs whenever they can be determined safely. A 
broader purge is used only when configured or when targeted resolution cannot safely
cover the change.

### Which WordPress cache plugins are supported?

LiteSpeed Cache, WP Rocket, WP Fastest Cache, WP Optimize, Speed Optimizer, FlyingPress,
SpeedyCache, Breeze and Cache Enabler.

[See cache adapter compatibility](https://wpcacheautopilot.com/docs/supported-integrations/#cache-adapters).

### Does Cache Autopilot work with Gutenberg and block themes?

Yes. Cache Autopilot Free understands Site Editor templates, template parts, synced
patterns, Navigation, global styles and standard WordPress content.

[See Gutenberg and block theme support](https://wpcacheautopilot.com/docs/supported-integrations/#gutenberg).

### Does Cache Autopilot support WooCommerce?

Yes. WooCommerce support is included in Cache Autopilot Free.

It covers products, variations, the Shop page, product categories and tags, grouped
products, upsells and other connected storefront targets.

[See WooCommerce support](https://wpcacheautopilot.com/docs/supported-integrations/#woocommerce).

### Does Cache Autopilot support Elementor?

Yes, in Cache Autopilot PRO. The Elementor integration understands reusable content,
templates, nested references and Display Conditions so affected frontend pages can
refresh when shared Elementor content changes.

[See Elementor support](https://wpcacheautopilot.com/docs/supported-integrations/#elementor).

### Does Cache Autopilot support multilingual WordPress sites?

Yes, in Cache Autopilot PRO. WPML, Polylang and TranslatePress are supported, including
translated target URLs and localized archive pagination.

[See multilingual compatibility](https://wpcacheautopilot.com/docs/supported-integrations/#multilingual-compatibility).

### Does Cache Autopilot preload pages after purging them?

Yes. Purged pages are queued for paced background preload so visitors are less likely
to encounter a cold cache.

[See Cache Warmup](https://wpcacheautopilot.com/docs/cache-warmup/).

### What happens if Cache Autopilot cannot determine every affected page?

Where precise targeting cannot be resolved safely, Cache Autopilot can fall back
to a broader refresh rather than risk leaving affected pages stale.

### Can developers extend Cache Autopilot for custom WordPress setups?

Yes. Free includes filters for post changes, options, widgets/sidebars, metadata,
archives and custom workflows. PRO adds relationship and multilingual extension 
points.

[See the Developer Reference](https://wpcacheautopilot.com/docs/developer-reference/#filters).
