How to properly remove cache for my customers

Question

Let's start with my environment :

• Wordpress (Elementor - Optimized by Siteground extension only)
• Hosted on Siteground
• CDN Cloudflare (free edition — Cache ttl set to 4h)

My test routine :

• On my computer, I change the top bar color on my client website (https://www.sandorina.fr — if you want to see cache configuration)
• On my phone, I reload my browser

The problem :

The topbar color doesn't change and keep its old one.

Workaround :

I can see my modification by purging Cloudflare cache & my phone browser cache (via chrome inspect devices).

So what ?

My client has more and more customers on her website. In order to optimize it, I make dailies updates. However, it's very frustrating to see that my changes aren't refresh (for weeks, or more), and even more for the customers (I make retargeting so...). And I can't say to them : "oh, you just have to clean your phone cache". I've many gaps regarding caching and hosting configuration and your help will be very appreciated.

Answer 1

You have the option to clear cache manually via Cloudflare dashboard. Just navigate to your website inside the Cloudflare Dashboard >> Caching >> Configuration >> Purge Everything. Please note that changes take effects only after few seconds.
