This module integrates with Akamai's content delivery network to automatically clear cached content when changes are made to your website. It allows for manual clearing of specific URLs or integrates with Drupal's cache invalidation system for more intelligent purging.
The Akamai modules provides integration with the Akamai Content Control Utility (CCU) Web Service. This enables the purging of cached URLs in the Akamai Global Network in response to different site events. It purges not only the canonical URL for your page/node (node/123) but also any associated URL aliases.
The various mechanisms to clear Akamai cache are:
- Through an admin screen, allowing the specification of any number of URLs to clear manually.
- Through a block that can be put on your site to allow any specific page you are viewing to be cleared from the Akamai cache with a button click.
- Integrates with Purge module to do intelligent purging based on Drupal 8's internal cache invalidation logic.
