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

TL;DR
  • Republish your site on Webflow to clear server cache.
  • Ensure DNS settings are correctly pointed to Webflow if changes were made.
  • Ask users to clear their browser cache for updated content.
  • Clear third-party CDN cache if applicable.

Clearing the server cache in Webflow is important after migrating your site to ensure that all visitors see the most updated content.

​

1. Publish Your Site Again

  • Go to the Webflow Designer and click on the blue "Publish" button at the top right.
  • Select both the staging environment (e.g., webflow.io) and the custom domain where your site is published.
  • Click "Publish" to push the latest version of your site to the server, which often clears cached content.

​

2. Update DNS Settings (if applicable)

  • If you've changed your hosting provider or made changes to your DNS settings, ensure everything is correctly pointing to Webflow.
  • Check that your A records and CNAME settings are configured correctly.

​

3. Clear Browser Cache

  • Instruct users to clear their browser cache if they face any issues. This helps load the latest content from the server rather than the stored browser cache.

​

4. Check for Third-Party CDN Caching

  • If you're using a third-party Content Delivery Network (CDN), clear the CDN cache as well to ensure no outdated content is being served.

​

Summary

Republishing your site on Webflow usually clears server cache issues. Make sure DNS settings are correct, and third-party CDN caches are cleared if necessary. Instruct users to clear their browser cache to see the latest content without issues.
