Normally Cloudflare purge all entire cache and after that all pages are slow down, because Cloudflare revalidate all webpages cache again for them.

But this plugin purge only specific page cache. For example, your site have three post A,B,C and now you updated page A then cache only clear for page A not for B,C and others.
