This feature ensures that all caches are properly flushed on publish. This includes not only the cache leveraged by other ASF features, like 301 Redirects and Sitemaps, but also the out of the box "Sitecore" HTML cache.

Out of the box, that cache doesn't automatically get cleared on publish, but instead requires a manual configuration for every site definition. This feature overrides the behavior automatically clearing the cache for every site in the site definition.

Note that these features are decoupled into separate event handlers and can be manually configured independently if desired, though the configuration includes targeting both event handlers for publish end and publish end remote events.

If you want to cache your own data and ensure it’s cleared on publish, you can simple use the “HttpRuntime.Cache” to manage it and this feature will clear it on publish.
