SleekView Kanban for WP REST Cache
SleekView Kanban reads WP REST Cache cached endpoint records stored in the plugin's cache table, groups them by cache state, and lets platform teams drag entries between Cached, Stale, Expired, and Flushed columns for a real review surface.

Why WP REST Cache sites need a kanban view
WP REST Cache stores every cached REST API response in its own table inside the WordPress database, keyed by the request URL, query string, and any object dependencies (post id, term id, user id) that the plugin tracks for cache invalidation. Each row holds the cached body, the expiration timestamp, the dependency list, and the last hit count, so the plugin can decide when to serve cache and when to refresh.
SleekView Kanban points at the WP REST Cache table, lets you pick the cache state column as the group field, and renders one card per cached endpoint record. Each card shows the cached route, the dependency count, the last hit time, the hit count, and the expiration timestamp so a platform team sees the shape of every cached endpoint at a glance during the daily cache review.
When a platform engineer drags a card from Cached into Stale or Flushed, SleekView updates the cache state column through the standard WP REST Cache write path, fires the wp_rest_cache flush hooks for the dependencies on the record, and updates column counts. Custom code listening to standard hooks continues to fire.

Comparison
Default REST Cache admin vs SleekView Kanban
Default REST Cache view
- WP REST Cache shows every cached record in a flat admin list with standard cols.
- Cache states live in a column with no visual queue around the cached to flushed.
- Bulk actions cannot group cached records by cache state across the dashboard.
- Filtering by cache state is supported, but engineers cannot drag between rows.
- Platform teams write custom admin pages to give cached records a board surface.
SleekView Kanban
- Group WP REST Cache records by a cache state column or by dependency count.
- Show route, dependency count, hit count, and expiration on the card front view.
- Drag a card from Stale into Flushed and SleekView writes via the cache flush path.
- Run one board for cached records and another for the cached dependency map.
- Roles can be limited to platform engineers so general subscribers never see board.
Features
What SleekView Kanban gives you for WP REST Cache
Cache health for every route
Every WP REST Cache record lands on the board with a cache state column defining columns. Platform teams skip custom admin pages, and the standard cache flush lifecycle stays intact through every move.
Route, hits, expiration on cards
Route, hit count, dependency count, and expiration land on the card front, so an engineer sees the cached value and time left before expiration without opening the row. wp_rest_cache flush hooks fire on every move.
Drag writes via the cache API
When a card moves, SleekView updates the cache state column through the standard WP REST Cache write path, the same path the plugin uses on save_post flush. The wp_rest_cache flush hooks fire on every change.
Audience
Platform teams that put it on the cache dashboard
Headless cache health watch
Headless teams watch WP REST Cache health on the board. Cached shows the warm surface, Stale exposes records the frontend will refresh, and wp_rest_cache flush hooks keep frontend layers in sync.
Performance chasing hot routes
Performance teams sort cached records by hit count to find the top routes. Cached shows the warm surface, Stale exposes records the team can warm proactively, and the board makes hit patterns visible.
Incident response cache work
During an incident, platform teams use Flushed to confirm cleared routes, Expired to spot stuck records, and WP REST Cache hooks to chain follow-up actions across every move without extra plugin glue.
The bigger picture
Why a cache kanban makes platform health honest
WP REST Cache is how a headless WordPress site keeps the REST API fast for the frontend by caching responses in the database, keyed by the request URL and any object dependencies that the plugin tracks for invalidation. Cached records are the difference between a fast frontend and a slow one, and the cost of a wrongly-flushed record or a stuck stale record can be a real hit to user experience. The default cache admin shows cached records as a flat list with the standard columns, which works for a small cache but turns into a wall of rows once a site has thousands of cached records across several routes.
A kanban view changes that shape. A cache state column becomes the board columns, the most important fields land on the cards, and the board gives the platform team a real cache health surface without writing a custom admin page. Cached shows the warm surface, Stale exposes records the frontend will refresh, Expired shows the work the cache layer needs to do.
Questions
Common questions about SleekView Kanban for WP REST Cache
Yes. Moving a card updates the cache state column through the standard WP REST Cache write path, the same path the plugin uses on save_post flush. The wp_rest_cache flush hooks and any custom code listening to the standard hooks continue to fire without any extra plugin glue.
SleekView reads the WP REST Cache table directly, which holds the cached body, the expiration timestamp, the dependency list, and the hit count for every cached endpoint record. You pick a cache state column to group by, and SleekView renders one card per cached record cleanly.
Yes. SleekView ships with role-based permissions, so platform engineers can have a single page that holds the cache health board and nothing else. Only chosen roles can drag cards, and destination columns can be limited per role so contributors cannot move records into Flushed alone.
Derived states are first-class in SleekView. You can define a workflow_state computed from several WP REST Cache fields, such as treating a record as Stale when the expiration is less than five minutes away and the hit count is high, and SleekView groups records by that value.
Each board has one source so the rules stay clear, but most setups run one board for cached records and a second board for the cached dependency map on the same dashboard. Column counts at the top of each show waiting work at a glance, so the team sees both surfaces.
Dragging never deletes data. It updates only the cache state column through the standard WP REST Cache write path, which is the same thing a save_post flush does. Other cache columns, the cached body, and the dependency list are not touched, so all values remain as saved.
Yes. Each card can show the time since the record was last modified or since the cache state was last updated, so a record stuck in Stale for an hour looks visibly different from a fresh one. Sort options can place the oldest cards at the top of every column to keep stuck records.
No. SleekView pages the board, only loads cards for visible columns, and uses indexed queries on the cache state column. Sites with millions of WP REST Cache records stay responsive because heavy cached bodies are only fetched for cards currently on screen during cache review.
