Important Notes
Temporary Slowdown Is Normal
After purging the cache, the first few visitors may experience slightly slower page loads while the cache rebuilds itself.
Browser Cache Still Exists
Even after purging LiteSpeed Cache, visitors may still need to refresh their own browser cache to see changes immediately.
Tip: Excessively purging cache can reduce website performance benefits. In most cases, only purge cache after making actual changes to your website.
