NGINX Caching is a feature that can help improve website performance by temporarily storing (caching) web pages, images, and other content.
Instead of generating the same content, repeatedly, for every user, NGINX serves the ‘pre-pepared’ cached version, reducing server load and speeding up page delivery. This is especially useful for sites with high traffic.
However, in some cases, you may need to clear or disable this cache, especially when making updates or timely changes to your website.
To clear NGINX Caching:
1. First, login to cPanel
2. Next, look for the ‘NGINX Caching‘ section towards the bottom of the ‘General Information‘ panel on the left
3. Find the NGINX section and click the ‘Clear Cache‘ button.
4. When the NGINX cache has been successfully cleared, you’ll see a notification pop-up, stating “Success: NGINX cache cleared.“
To disable NGINX Caching:
1. First, login to cPanel
2.Look for the ‘NGINX Caching’ section in the ‘General Information’ panel on the left then click the toggle switch labelled ‘Active’ to disable caching.
3. Once NGINX Caching is disabled, a notification will appear above the General Information section or in the top-right corner of your cPanel dashboard, confirming the action.
To enable NGINX Caching:
