November 17, 20205 yr Hi, I use Wordpress elementor and I'm finding no matter what I do to clear the cache the website doesn't update sometimes until 24 hours later. I guess this is to do with DNS cache. Is there anything I can do to bypass this?
November 17, 20205 yr Stop using elementor. You then won’t need to worry about caching. But to answer your question, no there isn’t anything you can do about this.
November 17, 20205 yr Do you have a caching plugin installed on WordPress? Also, have you tried resolving the issue by clearing your browser cache?

November 17, 20205 yr Which brings up back to the root of the problem: elementor. It's a really bad plugin that is going to become more and more problematic in 2021 when Google introduced web core vitals. Performance is a key signal and you can't get good performance with elementor even with a caching plugin. If you want to make changes to your site, disable your caching plugin. You should then be able to refresh your browser. But... Some ISP hold a local cache of sites you visit. So until they refresh there is nothing you can do about it.
November 19, 20205 yr Is this caching the pages or say changing style sheets and it doesn't update? If it's say css / js then you can add versioning to break the cache and get a fresh version, for example; <link rel="stylesheet" href="/style.css?ver=<?php echo date("Y-m-d-H-i-s", filemtime("/path/to/your/style.css")); ?>" type="text/css" media="all" /> ... this would get the last modified date/time for the css file and then use if for version, e.g. style.css?ver=2020-11-19-17-38-00. This file would then be cached until it changes.
