A Guide to Clear the Cloudflare Cache

Try cleaning Cloudflare’s cache if you are using it to improve your website and the changes are not showing up.

Firstly, let’s know what cache means and what it does. Cache is just the generated copies of your web content created to speed up specific web pages for the end user.

On the other hand, Cloudflare makes websites 10x faster by taking your website’s static content (like CSS, Javascript or existing images).

The cache clean in your Cloudflare account removes your website’s cached content. Additionally, it compels Cloudflare to retrieve an updated version of your website and force it to expire any previously cached static content with a single click.

Say, for example, you have recently changed the Javascript file and do not see the changes in the browser; then you can clear the cache and force Cloudflare to update the files immediately.

In this article, we will understand the steps to clear the cache in Cloudflare.

Steps to Clear the Cloudflare Cache

Step 1: Login to Cloudflare with your Cloudflare account.

Step 2: On the left-hand side of the pane, click on Websites and then search for your domain name (for ex: here is it test.com).

Step 3: Again, on the left-hand side, click on Caching, and then, Configurations.

Step 4: Now on the Caching Configuration page, under Purge cache, you will find the cache clearing options.

• If you want to clear the complete cache immediately, click Purge Everything.
• To remove a particular cache, click on Custom Purge.

Note: It takes around 30 seconds for Cloudflare to clear the cache.

Thus, you can quickly delete Cloudflare’s cache by doing the actions listed above.
