Fix common issues like changes not showing up right away.

If you’ve made updates to your site but can’t see them live, your browser or website cache may be the reason. Caching helps websites load faster, but it can temporarily store older versions of your pages.

Here’s how to clear it:

  1. Clear your website cache.
    If your site uses a caching plugin (like WP Rocket, LiteSpeed Cache, or W3 Total Cache), go to the plugin settings and click “Clear Cache” or “Purge All.”
  2. Clear your browser cache.
    On most browsers, press Ctrl + Shift + R (Windows) or Command + Shift + R (Mac) to refresh the page fully.
  3. Check on mobile.
    Open your website on your phone’s browser or in private/incognito mode to confirm your updates appear correctly.

Tip:
If you’re using a content delivery network (CDN), such as Cloudflare, clear the cache from your CDN dashboard as well.
