One of the command-line tools designed exclusively for managing WordPress websites is WP-CLI. You may manage WordPress with only a few straightforward commands, eliminating the need to log in to your WordPress admin area and navigate through your pages.

In most cases, you can automate your processes and purge, invalidate, and warmup pages in a specific time frame. CRON jobs can be utilized to do that.

A CRON job is a job scheduler for Unix-like operating systems, to put it simply. This allows users to plan tasks (commands or shell scripts) to run on a regular basis at predetermined times, dates, or intervals.

To install NitroPack with WP-CLI, follow this set of commands:

The above commands install the NitroPack plugin and then activate it.

For WP-CLI, NitroPack supports the following commands:

One of the most useful commands that we can offer is for purging the cache for a specific URL.

This is great if you want to refresh the cache more frequently for specific pages only.

For example, purging a specific page:

wp nitropack purge --purge-url=https://domain.com/page

This can also be automated in a CRON job, say once every 24 hours:

0 0 * * * /path/to/wp-cli/wp --path=/path/to/your/website nitropack purge --purge-url=https://domain.com/page

You could also automate a full cache purge to be executed every 7 days:

0 0 * * 0 /path/to/wp-cli/wp --path=/path/to/your/website nitropack purge

The paths in the CRON job need to be adjusted based on where WP CLI is installed on the server and the path to your website.
​

Your hosting provider can help you obtain these paths, as well as set up the CRON job.
