Site shows old version for half a second

    Hi, I’ve created a site using an Astra Starter Template + Elementor. Even though I have heavily modified the template, colors, photos etc, everytime I load any of the pages, for half a second I see their original versions I imported from astra, and then it loads the current version.

    Also I can’t see live changes to the website if I just hit “Update” on Elementor, unless I purge the cache from LS after I change something. But this issue just makes my work harder and I could live with it. The first one is the bigger issue as website visitors see a pink website with strange photos for half a second before seeing our real website…

    This only happens with Lightspeed Cache enabled.

    I have Purged All caches a ton of times as I can’t see changes without doing so
    I have emptied the entire cache
    I turned Off JS Combine
    I added Elementor to JS Excludes
    I flushed the server cache from Cpanel

    Nothing works. Please help! Thank you!

    Hi. Your solution fixed the second part of the problem. I still have the first part – the old page structure appears for a second before loading the new site. I have been working on the site for more than a month, did tons of purges, even used Empy Entire Cache – still no fix.

    I also manually deleted all the files from the LSCache folder using File Manager.

    I uninstalled the plugin and then deleted the files again and when I reinstalled it, it still had my settings, so that leads me to believe that there are leftover files when you uninstall the plugin, I just couldn’t find them. This means there could also be a leftover cache file from when I first installed the plugin.

    I would really like to use LSCache but this problem drives me nuts. I have tried everything.

    The moment I disable the add-on the site works perfectly.

    I’m having a similar problem I have updated an article but it still doesn’t show the updated version even after I deactivate the plugin. but mine still shows the same older version.
