In this article, we will show you how to clear your Varnish Cache<\/strong> in Managed WordPress. Clearing the Varnish cache in a Managed WordPress setup removes saved versions of your site that Varnish uses to speed up loading. This ensures that any changes you make – like updating content or design – are immediately visible to visitors instead of showing them outdated cached pages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NOTE<\/strong>: Varnish Cache can be disabled in this section; however, we recommend keeping it enabled, as disabling it may slow your website\u2019s performance<\/strong>.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Proxy Cache Purge plugin <\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The Proxy Cache Purge plugin<\/strong> is a WordPress tool that helps automatically clear cached pages<\/strong> stored by reverse proxy servers like Varnish. When you update or publish content, the plugin sends a request to purge the outdated cache, ensuring visitors always see the latest version of your site. It’s especially useful for Managed WordPress hosting environments that use Varnish caching.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
