Articles not appearing on the front page without physical f5 or refresh

  • Hi,
    This is the first time after a while am posting on the forum. Would appreciate any help.
    Whenever we push out a new article/story, the home page/front page does not get refreshed. This is something we are facing suddenly. Earlier when we used to push it out the front page used to get refreshed on its own. Could it be a cache issue? We clear cache every time but the front page does not get refreshed on its own on Dekstop and mobile.

    We have to physically either press F5 or hit the refresh button on the browser only then we see the new article on the home page.

    We are using Autoptimize, wp-rocket plugins as well as cloudeflare CDN. Website: [ redundant link removed ]

    please help.

    Thanks

  • Pressing F5 only clears your browser cache, so this datapoint is helpful in narrowing down what cache we need to focus on to resolve this issue.

    Of your current stack, wp-rocket is most likely responsible for the browser caching. What about excluding the homepage from its cache? If you edit the homepage, you should see an option to select to “never cache this page.” If this is an acceptable solution, try selecting this and updating the page to see if the problem persists.

    Thanks, we disabled WP-rocket and autoptimise. The desktop website is not working fine, however has become slow. But the problem persists on the mobile website. We have to physically refresh it for the new articles to load on it.
