Why Are Changes Made to Website Not Visible on Frontend?

If you’ve made changes to your WordPress site and they’re not appearing on the frontend, the issue is almost always related to caching. This could involve your web browser’s cache, your WordPress site’s cache, or your content delivery network’s (CDN) cache.

Here’s a guide to clearing different types of cache in order to force a page refresh and make your changes visible.

Clear all 10Web caches at once

10Web hosting uses a combination of Nginx FastCGI cache, Speed Booster plugin cache, and Cloudflare Enterprise CDN cache (available as a paid add-on). You can flush all three types of cache at the same time from your WordPress Admin dashboard.

  1. Log in to WP Admin by clicking the “W” icon on your site’s 10Web dashboard.
  2. Locate the Manage 10WEB Cache button in the top ribbon of the admin area.
  3. Hover over the button and click Clear all cache from the dropdown menu.

Clear specific caches individually

1- Clear 10Web hosting cache

10Web hosting cache is automatically cleared at regular intervals (you can set it to clear every 1, 3, 6, 12, or 24 hours). However, you can also force a manual cache flush.

  1. Log in to your 10Web dashboard.
  2. Click on the Manage button next to the site where you want to flush the cache.
  3. In the left menu, click Hosting Services > Tools.
  4. In the Website Cache section, click Clear Cache.

2- Clear Booster page cache

There are two ways to clear the Booster page cache.

From the 10Web dashboard:

  1. Go to the Website Booster tab on the 10Web dashboard.
  2. Click on Settings.
  3. Select Clear cache.

From the WP Admin area:

  1. Log in to WP Admin by clicking the “W” icon on your site’s 10Web dashboard.
  2. Locate the Manage 10WEB Cache button in the top ribbon of the admin area.
  3. Hover over it and click Clear SB cache from the dropdown menu.

3- Clear Cloudflare CDN cache

When full page cache is enabled, Cloudflare caches your pages at the network edge, improving server performance and loading speed. If you need to clear this cache:

  1. Go to the Website Booster tab on the 10Web dashboard.
  2. Find the Cloudflare CDN menu.
  3. Click Clear cache.

Note:

You can also customize Cloudflare caching exceptions if needed. Refer to the related article on managing Cloudflare caching exceptions for more details.

Clear browser cache

Sometimes, the issue might be your browser’s cache. There are three methods to resolve this:

  • Hard refresh: Forces the browser to bypass the cache and reload the page completely. Press CTRL + F5 on Windows or Cmd + R on Mac.
  • Totally clear your browser cache: If the hard refresh didn’t work, you may need to clear the entire browser cache. Instructions vary by browser, so look up the specific steps for yours.
  • Incognito/private tab: Open your site in a new incognito/private tab. Since this mode doesn’t store history, cookies, or cache, you can see changes without interference.

Check for third-party caching plugins or CDNs

If you’re still having trouble, check whether you’re using any additional caching plugins or external CDN services that could be causing conflicts. Turn off or flush the cache from these plugins, then check to see if your changes are visible.

Common plugins to check include:

  • Ezoic
  • WP Super Cache
  • WP Fastest Cache
  • W3 Total Cache
  • WP Rocket
  • WP Rocket Footer JS
  • NitroPack

Always remember to check each cache layer when changes aren’t visible. Flushing cache from all sources ensures the latest version of your website is displayed.
