Cache Control can purge cache automatically after updates, but you can also start a manual purge from MainWP Dashboard.

Bulk purges follow the **Maximum concurrent requests** and **Delay between requests** values from the global settings. Lower the concurrent requests or add a delay if bulk purges overload your server or trigger rate limits on your hosting or Cloudflare account. Raise the concurrent requests to finish bulk purges faster across many sites.

Go to **MainWP > Sites > Manage Sites**, select the sites, choose **Purge Cache (Cache Control)** from the bulk actions menu, and click **Apply**.
