描述
The Content Revalidation Tracker plugin seamlessly connects your WordPress site with your frontend framework (such as Next.js, Nuxt, or Gatsby) to trigger revalidation via a secure API endpoint every time content changes — ensuring your site always serves the most up-to-date pages.
This plugin is ideal for headless WordPress setups that use static site generation or incremental static regeneration. Whenever you update, publish, or delete posts, pages, or taxonomies, the plugin automatically sends a secure API call to your frontend to revalidate the affected pages.
Key Features
- Automatic Revalidation – Triggers a revalidation request whenever a post, user, or taxonomy is created, updated, trashed, or deleted.
- Custom Prefix Mapping (New in v2) – Define custom URL prefixes for your post types and taxonomies to match your frontend routing structure.
- Granular Configuration – Choose which post types and taxonomies are revalidated via filters.
- Secure API Communication – Use a secret key and domain configuration to ensure authorized revalidation requests.
- Admin Test Tool (New in v2) – Test revalidation manually from the settings page to confirm configuration.
- Developer Friendly – Includes hooks and filters for advanced customization.
Ideal For
- WordPress sites powered by Next.js, Nuxt, or other static/hybrid frameworks.
- Developers who want automated page revalidation after content changes.
- Headless WordPress sites that require fast and fresh content delivery.
