⚡ Cache Toolbar for Magento 2 and MageOS

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A smart status bar appears automatically when your cache is outdated — with a single Smart Clear button that clears the right types instantly, without leaving the page.

MageOS:

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
Accessible — toolbar message uses aria-live and role="status" for screen reader support
