How to clear all cache when using Web Accelerator Cache

Our Cache helps speed up your website by storing and serving cached content instead of fetching it from the server each time. However, this means that when you make changes to your content, you might not see the updates immediately.

When to clear all cache:

In cases where you need to see your changes immediately and the cache hasn’t refreshed yet, you can clear all cache.

Steps

  • 1
    Log in to the xneelo Control Panel.
  • 2
    Select a Product (e.g. Web Hosting) from the side menu. 
  • 3
    Select the specific domain name. 
  • 4
    Under Performance and Security, click on the arrow to the right of Web Accelerator Cache.
  • 5
    In the Overview tab, select Clear all Cache and confirm.
Assist Note

Clearing all cache will remove all stored content from memory. As a result, the site may load more slowly at first, as each page must be fetched from the server and cached again accessed by users. This process is known as passive (or lazy) cache warming.

Assist Tip

Recommended Approach: Clear cache by changes

To avoid unnecessary full cache clears and to ensure updated content is reflected promptly, we recommend using a Varnish Purge Cache plugin. These tools automatically clear only the cache related to specific content changes, such as when you update a page or publish a post, without affecting the rest of your site.

For WordPress, we recommend Proxy Cache Purge Plugin. For other CMSes, please check the Varnish Proxy Cache purge plugin recommendations.
