What is the cache?

To create a page, Drupal needs to make several database queries. This can slow down websites with a lot of traffic. To make websites faster Drupal stores webpages in a cache.

Occasionally, after you save changes to your web page, you still see the previous version of the text. Clearing the site caches should fix this issue. 

 

How to flush the site cache

Hover over the 'Home' icon and select 'Flush all caches'.

 

 

You should see the updated content on your web page.
