QCC - Quick Cache Cleaning

Performs maintenance tasks (clear and purge expired cache, global check-in) within seconds

Module / Plugin: QCC - Quick Cache Cleaning
Function: QCC does the maintenance tasks within seconds with one click from everywhere in the backend. The plugin deletes the cache automatically on certain events (trigger). QCC is small, fast and uses the original functions of the responsible components!
Languages: English and German

You can choose between two different view types: Menu and Dropdown List. If you select the view Dropdown List, then you should use the position status for the module. If you select Menu, then you should publish the module on the position menu and QCC will create a new menu entry automatically.

The plugin automatically deletes the cache on preset events. The execution is initiated by the respective component with so-called event triggers. In the first version of the plugin, the cache can be emptied automatically after the saving of an article.

Save your time, you need just one click for the maintenance tasks!
