Website not updating unless manually refreshed

  • I’ve had this strange issue for about 2 weeks. Basically once I visit my website once on any browser, and then make changes to the website and come back to it some time later, it will always display the old version unless I manually refresh the page.

    So let’s say I made a new post, or updated the css of my website since the last time I visited. If I go on the site again, it won’t show those changes until I manually refresh the given page. I know this isn’t a plugin or browser issue, because I’ve tried disabling plugins, and tried different browsers and computers.

    Is this a WordPress issue? Or is it more likely to be something with my hosting?

    There are a couple different levels of caching to be aware of. Your browser cache of course is the client-side piece of it. You can clear this manually or sometimes with a page refresh. Then there are cached pages generated by any caching plugin you may have installed. Also your web host may themselves be serving cached pages to save on their server load, or they (or even you) may be using a CDN to deliver content. Any one of these can give you the issues you’re having. You need to check these possibilities so you know what you can do about it.

    Yeah I’ve crossed out browser and plugin caching. I am using CDN thing (I’m not too knowledgeable about how it works) through my host – Cloudflare. So it’s either my web host or Cloudflare, but I’m not 100% sure how to check. I did send in a support ticket though.
