The Akamai for WordPress plugin integrates automatically with Akamai to purge the cache when you create or update a post/page.
The Akamai for WordPress plugin will automatically purge the cache using the new Fast Purge feature whenever you create or update a post.
With the Fast Purge API, you can automate your publishing flow to maximize performance and offload without compromising on freshness. Switching to a Hold ‘Til Told methodology, you can cache semi-dynamic content with long TTLs, and then refresh it in approximately 5 seconds with Fast Purge.
This plugin is developed on GitHub. Issues should be filed here.

By default, the front page, and the individual post page are purged. You can additionally enable purging of tag, category, and monthly archives.

Purge requests submitted at a higher rate results in a 507 error code. If you receive this error, wait 5 seconds and try again.
In addition, there is a strictly enforced 50,000 byte limit on the size of each request.
