Clearing cache in WordPress helps refresh your site’s content. Here’s a simple step-by-step guide to purge cache in your WordPress website:
Using Your WordPress Dashboard
1. Install a Caching Plugin: If you haven’t already, install a caching plugin like WP Super Cache, W3 Total Cache, or WP Rocket.
2. Access Plugin Settings: Go to the settings page of your caching plugin. This is usually under “”Settings”” or directly on the dashboard menu.
3. Purge Cache: Look for an option labeled ‘Purge Cache’, ‘Clear Cache’, or ‘Empty Cache’. Click it.
Using a Content Delivery Network (CDN)
If you’re using a CDN like Cloudflare:
1. Access CDN Dashboard: Log in to your CDN provider’s dashboard.
2. Find Caching Settings: Navigate to the caching configuration or performance settings.
3. Purge Cache: Click on the option to purge or clear cache.
Final Check
- After clearing cache, visit your website to ensure changes are visible.
- If necessary, clear your browser cache or use a private browsing window to check the website.
Clearing cache can improve your site’s performance and ensure users see the most up-to-date content.
