 * Hello and good day.
 * I have been using Nginx Helper plugin.
 * However, to clear the Fast Cache Path, they recommend uninstalling default NGINX
   and installing NGINX custom package.
 * Alternatively, I have been manually running “sudo rm -rf /usr/share/nginx/fastcgi_cache*”
   to clear that folder.
 * I am using the following in my nginx.conf:
 * fastcgi_cache_path /usr/share/nginx/fastcgi_cache levels=1:2 keys_zone=phpcache:
   100m max_size=10g inactive=60m use_temp_path=off;
 * This uses cache levels 1:2
 * Your plugin clears the fastcgi_cache (upon page/site content) changes automatically,
   correct?
 * I am considering switching to your plugin if it does so I do not have to remove
   my current nginx and reinstall.
