You’ve just made a change to your WordPress page — maybe updated some text, swapped out a photo, or added a new product — but when you check your live site, nothing’s different. Don’t worry, your update has gone through. What’s happening is something called caching.

Why This Happens

At CompanyX, we use two types of caching on your site:

1. Object Cache – Stores frequently-used bits of your website’s data so they load super fast.
2. Page Cache – Stores ready-to-go versions of your pages so visitors get them instantly, no matter where in the world they are.

These caches are why your site feels speedy and smooth for your customers. But it also means the public view isn’t always pulling your changes immediately — it’s showing the “stored” version until the cache refreshes.

How Long Until My Changes Show?

Most updates get pushed live in just a few minutes, but in some cases, it can take up to 4 hours for the public view to fully refresh. This delay is normal and part of what keeps your site fast for visitors everywhere.

Think of it like swapping out a billboard image — the design is ready right away, but the actual billboard crew needs a little time to put up the new one.

Need Your Change Live Immediately?

If you have an urgent update — for example, fixing a typo on your homepage, posting an announcement, or updating a sale price — you don’t have to wait. Just email us at [email protected], and we’ll flush your cache right away so your new content shows instantly.

Caching Is Your Website’s Best Friend

This small delay is the trade-off for a huge benefit:

• Your site loads lightning-fast for visitors all over the globe.
• It can handle more traffic without slowing down.
• Your customers always get a smooth, reliable experience.

So, if you don’t see your change immediately, don’t panic — your site is just busy making sure it stays fast for everyone. And if you need it right now, we’re only an email away.
