Clear Cache for One Site: A Step-by-Step Guide

Why Clear Cache for One Site?

Caching is a process that stores frequently accessed data, such as images and website content, to speed up page loading times. However, when a website updates its content, the cached data may become outdated, causing issues like:

• Displaying outdated or incorrect information
• Missing or distorted images
• Broken links or functionality
