RocketFront Connect keeps supported WordPress cache and optimization plugins synchronized with AWS CloudFront through C3 Cloudfront Cache Controller.
When WP Rocket, Hummingbird, Hummingbird Pro, or Autoptimize clears its cache, RocketFront Connect automatically submits a CloudFront invalidation for all paths. If multiple supported cache-clear actions occur during the same request, they are consolidated into a single CloudFront invalidation to help prevent unnecessary duplicate requests.
C3 Cloudfront Cache Controller is required for CloudFront integration. Supported WordPress cache plugins are detected automatically, and no specific cache plugin is required unless you want RocketFront Connect to synchronize WordPress cache clearing with CloudFront.
RocketFront Connect also includes optional Scheduled Cache Synchronization under Settings > RocketFront Connect. Scheduled synchronization can run daily or weekly using the WordPress site timezone and can be configured to clear supported WordPress caches, CloudFront, or both.
Scheduled synchronization is useful for sites with overnight imports, external data feeds, automated content updates, or other processes that may change site content without triggering the normal WordPress cache-clearing hooks.
The settings screen displays detected cache integrations, scheduling status, the next scheduled run, and results from the most recent execution. A Run Now option is also available for manually clearing the configured caches and CloudFront without waiting for the next scheduled run.
