CloudFlare Purge Plugin Extension

After you set your CF e-mail and API key in the options, you can purge the cache of any page of your CF enabled website. After version 1.3, you can purge the entire cache for the domain of your current tab.

User (ID: 000000e8849a005a) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 06/08/2023 Компания CloudFlare должна прекратить своё существование. Вредоносная компания, которая делает интернет хуже. Пусть будет проклят генеральный директор CloudFlare за то что он наполнил интернет своими заглушками с капчей.
