Purging Cache on UI Glitches

If frontend changes are not visible after updating styles or layout settings, the issue is usually caused by cached HTML being served instead of the latest version.

36.1 Problem #

After updating:

  • CSS
  • Widgets
  • Theme settings
  • Layout structure

The frontend does not reflect updates.

Technical Context #

  • Cached static HTML is still being served
  • Output buffer contains stale .html files
  • Browser may also cache old assets

36.2 Solution #

  1. Go to the WordPress Admin Bar
  2. Click Purge All Cache
  3. Reload the page (hard refresh recommended: Ctrl + F5)

This deletes cached HTML files from: 

wp-content/uploads/speedygo-cache/

New optimized files will regenerate automatically on the next request.

36.3 Best Practice Recommendation #

  • Purge cache after major design changes
  • Clear browser cache if changes still do not appear
  • Use Cache Warm-Up or Preloading for seamless regeneration

Purging cache resolves most UI inconsistencies caused by stale cached output.
