How to refresh browser cache after login

Under Performance –> Browser Cache.

Scroll to HTML?&?XML and then Cache Control policy.

It’s probably set to “cache with max-age (“public, max=age=EXPIRES_SECONDS”)”

Change it to “cache with validation (“public, must-revalidate, proxy-revalidate”)”

This should make it so you’re not seeing cached pages automatically when logging in. You may need to set the same setting under the “CSS?&?JS” and “Media & Other Files” sections as well if any of those assets need to be different / fresh when logging in.

Hello @presscat2015

Thank you for reaching out and I am happy to help!
@endymion00 Thank you for your insights on this.
@presscat2015 Please also make sure that the caching is disabled for logged in users in Performance>Page Cache.

I hope this helps!

Thanks!

Thank you so much for your help, @endymion00 and @vmarko!

I followed your guidance, but after logging in, some pages display the refreshed version, while others still show the cached version intended for non-logged-in users. If I refresh(F5) the cached pages, they show refreshed version then.

I configured the options as follows: Under Performance -> Browser Cache -> HTML & XML -> Cache Control policy, I changed it to ‘cache with validation (“public, must-revalidate, proxy-revalidate”)’. I applied the same settings to the “CSS & JS” and “Media & Other Files” sections and also disabled caching for logged-in users under Performance -> Page Cache.

Do you have any suggestions for what I should check next?

Recent browser cached pages would still have the previous settings. So you would likely need to clear your browser cache and then it should work as expected.
