Storefront > Tools > Clear Cache

Overview

To increase performance, site content is cached on the web server. We call this the server-side cache. If Cart.com's Cloudflare integration is enabled for your site, static content will also be cached on Cloudflare's content delivery network (CDN). If you've made recent changes and noticed that these changes are not reflecting on the front-end of the site, this could be due to caching. If so, clearing the server-side cache and purging the CDN will cause the most recent updates to be displayed.

Clearing Server Cache 

 There are two methods to clearing the server cache, both methods create the same result: 

Clearing Cache through the Admin Dashboard

To clear the application’s server-side cache through the dashboard navigate to Storefront > Tools > Clear Cache. This will automatically clear the cache. 

When you clear the cache, you will see this message at the top of the page: 

Clearing Cache via Browser Link

The application's server-side cache can also be cleared by browsing to the following URL (replacing the yourstore part with your store's domain name):

https://www.[yourstore].com/store/admin/actions.aspx?ClearCache=true

Note: You can bookmark this link to make it easier to clear the cache in the future.

Purging Cloudflare CDN

If Cloudflare integration has been enabled on your site, you can Purge the CDN for Cloudflare as well. To Purge CDN navigate to Storefront > Tools > Purge CDN.

When you Purge the CDN you will receive the following message at the top of the page.
