Quick Reference

zizi_cache_purge_urls:before Action Intercept URL purges
zizi_cache_preload_urls Filter Add URLs to preload
zizi_cache_is_cacheable Filter Override cacheability
zizi_cache_update_config:after Action React to config changes

Examples

Add custom preload URLs

add_filter('zizi_cache_preload_urls', function($urls) {
    $urls[] = home_url('/pricing/');
    $urls[] = home_url('/contact/');
    return $urls;
});

Allow a custom admin role

add_filter('zizi_cache_allowed_roles', function($roles) {
    $roles[] = 'shop_manager';
    return $roles;
});

Skip Quicklink on specific pages

add_filter('zizi_cache_should_apply_quicklink', function($enabled) {
    if (is_page('checkout')) {
        return false;
    }
    return $enabled;
});

Notes

  • Hooks with a colon (e.g., zizi_cache_exclude_from_minify:css) are literal names.
  • Integration-specific hooks only fire if that integration is active.
  • Prefer filters over direct overrides when customizing behavior.
