It may no longer be maintained or supported and may have compatibility issues when used with more recent versions of WordPress. ![](https://ps.w.org/akamai/assets/icon-256x256.png?rev=1647655) # Akamai for WordPress By [akamaidevrel](https://profiles.wordpress.org/akamaidevrel/) [Download](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/akamai.zip) * [Details](https://ceb.wordpress.org/plugins/akamai/#description) * [Reviews](https://ceb.wordpress.org/plugins/akamai/#reviews) * [Installation](https://ceb.wordpress.org/plugins/akamai/#installation) * [Development](https://ceb.wordpress.org/plugins/akamai/#developers) [Support](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/akamai/) ## Description The Akamai for WordPress plugin will automatically purge the cache using the new Fast Purge feature whenever you create or update a post. With the Fast Purge API, you can automate your publishing flow to maximize performance and offload without compromising on freshness. Switching to a Hold ‘Til Told methodology, you can cache semi-dynamic content with long TTLs, and then refresh it in approximately 5 seconds with Fast Purge. #### Development & Support This plugin is developed on [GitHub](https://github.com/akamai/wp-akamai). Issues should be filed [here](https://github.com/akamai/wp-akamai/issues). ### References * [Akamai OPEN APIs](https://developer.akamai.com) * [Akamai Credentials](https://developer.akamai.com/introduction/Identity_Model.html) * [Content Control Utility API v3 (CCUv3) Documentation](https://developer.akamai.com/api/purge/ccu/overview.html) ## Screenshots [⌊Akamai for WordPress Settings screen⌉⌊Akamai for WordPress Settings screen⌉[ Akamai for WordPress Settings screen ## Installation 1.

The purge request is almost instantaneous, and the purge itself is completed within 5 seconds. What is purged? By default, the front page, and the individual post page are purged. You can additionally enable purging of tag, category, and monthly archives. What are the limitations? This API supports the following rate limits per customer: * 6,000 URLs per minute (sustained) * 5,000 URLs per second (burst) Purge requests submitted at a higher rate results in a 507 error code. If you receive this error, wait 5 seconds and try again. In addition, there is a strictly enforced 50,000 byte limit on the size of each request. ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/4fdad8e56b360069c0debe0ef75aa7a29268edd2e3be34c514c51c9625ce2091? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Doesn’t Work](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/doesnt-work-3132/)󠁿 [higoroik](https://profiles.wordpress.org/higoroik/) Hulyo 14, 2024 Terrible plugin, it doesn’t work, and it even generates fatal errors on the website. Unfortunately, this shows how little Akamai cares about its users who work with WordPress. Other services like Cloudflare work much better in conjunction with WordPress. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/46adebc3eebe7494dba592e75ac8f8572222050648b0283515b4a5896648d846? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Plugin Breaks Site with Missing .edgerc](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-breaks-site-with-missing-edgerc/)󠁿 [Travis Smith](https://profiles.wordpress.org/wpsmith/) Mayo 21, 2018 1 reply Akamai fixed the error that occurred if the plugin has not set the .edgerc file location (and/or the .edgerc file is missing). However, this plugin is still not very intuitive. Suggestions for improvement are: Inputs for .edgerc file creation. Don’t depend on the user to place this file properly. Security suggestions/checks for .edgerc Cache clearing buttons Advanced configuration modifications besides basic WordPress modifications [ Read all 2 reviews ](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/akamai/reviews/) ## Contributors & Developers “Akamai for WordPress” is open source software.
