Clearing Nginx's HTTP Cache

I recently implemented Nginx HTTP content caching on our WordPress web servers to improve page load speeds and eliminate redundant, unneeded server-side page rendering. Caching the pages was relatively straightforward, but clearing the cache required a custom workaround.

Nginx comes in two versions: free and “Nginx Plus” at $2,500/year. The free version of Nginx does not offer the needed cache-clearing features of Nginx Plus, and I wasn’t comfortable paying $20,000 for 8 instances without trying to build my own solution.

Our Nginx servers run as an HTTP proxy for multiple PHP/MySQL-backed WordPress sites. The goal was to cache the dynamic PHP HTML responses in Nginx and serve the HTML pages from Nginx to avoid redundant, CPU-intensive PHP renders.

Site Cache Configuration

The example below shows how PHP response caching is configured for a site (other nginx configuration details are excluded for brevity). A cache named cachedemo-prod is defined to store cached HTML f

# First of all you need to have a clean clone of the source repository so we didn't screw the things up.

git clone git://server.com/my-repo1.git

# After that you need to do some preparations on the source repository, nuking all the entries except the folder you need to move. Use the following command

git filter-branch --subdirectory-filter your_dir -- -- all

# This will nuke all the other entries and their history, creating a clean git repository that contains only data and history from the directory you need. If you need to move several folders, you have to collect them in a single directory using the git mv command.

 Actually, that's a feature
 Did you check for a virus on your system?
 Don't worry, that value is only wrong half of the time
 Even though it doesn't work, how does it feel?
 Everything looks fine my end
 How is that possible?
 I broke that deliberately to do some testing
 I can have a look but there's a lot of if statements in that code!
 I can't make that a priority right now
 I can't test everything
