• in settings it asks to not put domain in the Custom Purge URL option but no warning/ error is shown if we add URLs with domain ( eg. https://google.com )
• On cliking purge all cache, it just says purge initiated, no confirmation if it was ever completed.
• No error/warning for entering wrong redis config

• LMK if we have access to nginx with FastCGI cache setup on a server, so I can test for it

I don't think we have a site with FastCGI cache setup for testing purposes, but you can try creating one on https://easydash.rtcamp.com/. 👍
