Overview
Cache helps the website respond faster by storing already processed versions of pages and assets. In an editing context, this means a change may not appear immediately on the frontend if an older cached version is still being served.
What “clear cache” means
Core concept and practical impact
Cache HTML
Stores processed page versions to speed up website response time and reduce repeated work on the server.
Image cache
Stores processed image versions, such as resized outputs and variations used on the frontend.
Expected result
Once the cache is cleared, the system regenerates the latest version of the content or asset on the next visit.
When to use each cache type
The difference between HTML and images
| Cache HTML |
When it makes sense
When the website still shows old text, blocks, structure or pages even though the changes were already published in the backoffice.
What it usually resolves
Differences between what has already been saved/published in Studio and what still appears on the website frontend.
What to expect afterwards
On the next page load, the system will typically regenerate the updated HTML.

|---|---|
| Image cache |
When it makes sense
When an image was replaced, optimized or updated, but the website still shows the old version.
What it usually resolves
Cases where the file has already changed in the backoffice, but cached image variations have not yet been regenerated on the frontend.
What to expect afterwards
Images will be served again from the latest version, with updated dimensions or processing whenever applicable.

How to clear the website HTML cache
Recommended backoffice flow
1. Open the Cache section
In the Studio side menu, open the Cache area, where the actions to clear this layer are grouped.
2. Select “Clear HTML cache”
Choose the Clear HTML cache action to force the regeneration of the website HTML pages.
3. Confirm the success message
After the action, check whether Studio shows a confirmation that the HTML cache was cleared successfully.
4. Test on the frontend
Go back to the website and confirm whether the updated content is now visible. If needed, do a hard refresh in the browser.
How to clear the website image cache
When images do not update
1. Go to the Cache area
From the side menu, open the same Cache section where the clear actions are available.
2. Choose “Clear cache images”
Use the Clear cache images option when the problem is related to an image that did not update on the frontend.
3. Validate on the website
After clearing, test again the page or block where the image appears to confirm that the new version is now being served.
4. Confirm the context
If the image is still wrong, also confirm that the correct file was actually replaced in the backoffice and that there is no other similar version being used in the content.
Quick checklist before clearing cache
Avoid unnecessary steps
- Confirm that the change has already been saved or published in the backoffice.
- Understand whether the problem is related to content/HTML or specifically to an image.
- Test again after clearing and, if needed, do a hard refresh in the browser.
- Make sure you are not validating an old page, a copy or a different environment than the expected one.
