Effective cache management plays a crucial role in maintaining optimal website performance and delivering a seamless user experience. The Rapyd Dashboard offers simple Cache Management, so you can optimize website performance and stability. Clearing cache is a possible fix, if you are seeing unexpected behaviour on your site.
Clearing Cache to Fix Website Issues
Clearing cache is a good option if you are seeing unexpected things on your WordPress website because it can help resolve issues caused by outdated or corrupted cached content. When you clear the cache, the website is forced to fetch the latest content and re-render the pages, which can potentially fix the unexpected behaviour. Here's why clearing cache can be beneficial:
Speed: Caching reduces the load on your site by storing the results of a request so that it can be served to the next visitor.
Ensure up-to-date content: Clearing cache ensures that your users see the most recent version of your website, including any changes or updates you've made.
Troubleshooting: Clearing cache can help you identify whether the issue is related to cached content or another factor. By eliminating cached content as a potential cause, you can more accurately diagnose and fix the problem.
Cache consistency: Clearing cache can help maintain cache consistency and prevent potential issues caused by stale or invalid data.
Fix layout or style issues: If you've recently made changes to your website's layout, design, or style, clearing cache can help ensure that these changes are correctly reflected on the live site.
Clearing the cache periodically helps prevent the cache from consuming excessive storage.
