README

Clear cache in one click — from any page, without navigating to System → Cache Management.

The problem

You save a config. Magento says "cache invalidated". You navigate to System → Cache Management. Select cache types. Click Flush. Go back to where you were.

That's 6 steps for something that should take 1.

The solution

A smart status bar appears automatically when your cache is outdated — with a single Smart Clear button that clears the right types instantly, without leaving the page.

Clearing cache...

Cache cleared...

Magento's default "cache invalidated" system message is suppressed — no duplicate warnings.

Features

• Smart Clear — clears only the cache types that are actually invalidated, from your configured list
• Full Clear — clears all cache types and flushes the cache pool when you need a clean slate
• Zero-delay detection — cache status is checked server-side on every page load, bar renders immediately with no AJAX flicker
• Suppresses Magento's default warning — no more duplicate "Cache Types are invalidated" messages
• Keyboard shortcut — Ctrl+Shift+C triggers Smart Clear from anywhere in the admin
• Auto-dismiss — success message disappears after 3 seconds, stays out of your way
• Configurable — choose which cache types Smart Clear targets via Stores → Configuration
• ACL-aware — toolbar only renders for admin users with cache clear permission
