How can I clear the server cache in Webflow after migrating my site?

After migrating your site in Webflow, it's a good idea to clear the server cache to ensure that any cached content from the previous server is removed and the latest version of your site is served to visitors.

To clear the server cache in Webflow, you can follow these steps:

  • Step 1: Login to your Webflow account and select the project you want to work on.
  • Step 2: Once you are in the Project Dashboard, click on the "Hosting" tab in the top menu.
  • Step 3: In the Hosting panel, you will see a button that says "Manage" next to your site's hosting settings. Click on it.
  • Step 4: On the left-hand side of the Hosting settings page, you will find a tab called "Cache". Click on it.
  • Step 5: Under the Cache tab, you will see an option to "Clear All Cache". Click on this button to clear the server cache.
  • Step 6: Webflow will now clear the server cache for your site. This process might take a few moments.
  • Step 7: Once the cache is cleared, you will see a confirmation message indicating that the cache has been cleared successfully.

Please note that clearing the server cache might take some time to propagate across all servers and CDN nodes. So, it's possible that some visitors might still see cached content for a short period of time. However, as they access your site, the cache will gradually clear and the updated content will be served.

It's also worth mentioning that you can use the "Cache-Control" header in your Webflow site to control how long assets are cached by client browsers. This can help you control cached content for subsequent visits after the server cache has been cleared. You can find more information about setting cache control in the Webflow University documentation.

Overall, clearing the server cache is an important step after migrating a site in Webflow to ensure that visitors are seeing the most up-to-date version of your website.
