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

TL;DR

Summary: Here’s how to clear the server cache in Webflow after migrating your site.

1. Republish Your Site

• Republishing the site via the Webflow Designer forces Webflow to update your published content and clear previous cached data.
• Simply click Publish in the upper right corner and select your domains to ensure the latest version is live.

2. Allow for CDN Cache Expiration

• Webflow uses a Content Delivery Network (CDN) to serve sites quickly; while republishing triggers a cache clear, some cached elements might still take a few minutes to update across all nodes.
• Simply wait a short time if changes do not appear immediately.

3. Verify Browser Cache

• If you’re still not seeing updates, clear your browser cache or open your site in an incognito window to ensure you’re viewing the latest version hosted on Webflow.

Summary

Republishing your site in the Webflow Designer is the most effective way to clear the server cache after site migration, and allowing a few minutes for CDN cache expiration ensures that all updates are properly reflected.
