Changes on webpage take too long?

[WeblauncherCustomer Topics: 25 Posts: 51]

Hi, when I edit something graphical/visual in the theme settings/pages/footer, it takes a very long time for it to reflect on the front end. Is that just somehow my fault or is this a feature?

Ideally I'd want the changes to be visible right away, so I can see if it looks good or not, but now I have to wait for several minutes (10 or so) to be able to see the changes. How can I speed this up?

Thank you.

Hey guys, it's really frustrating working with this theme when the CSS changes take MINUTES to propagate themselves on the frond end. Is this supposed to be happening or is it some kind of bug? Please help, this is not normal.

Thank you.

Hi again.

We have checked your back-end when editing, we don't see the time issue as you said.

Please check it and let us know again.

Thanks.

Hi, thanks for the check. It seems that for now you're right and the changes are displaying right away. I will continue to check it and if the case again arises I will let you know with exact steps so you can replicate. Thank you.

Alright, so the problem still persists.

I have an element on the home page with class

.mainpage-copy

I styled it like this in my style.css file

.mainpage-copy {
	font-size: 1.375rem;
}

It's been several minutes, but the changes are not visible on the front-end.

So I tried to measure it and it takes approximately 4-5 minutes for the changes made in style.css to be visible on front-end. That is not optimal as I can't see in real time the changes I make.
How can I make the changes appear instantly? Is there some caching mechanism implemented in the theme that prevents this? Can I turn it off? I have no caching plugin active.
Or is that some caching mechanism on the server maybe? Could you help me locate it?

I provided you with the testing text on the homepage with the css in style.css file, right at the beginning of the file

/* TESTING TEXT ON THE FRONTPAGE*/
.testing {
	color: red;
}

Try to edit it and see how long the changes take effect.

Hi again.

We can see your style on your style.css file. Please check your browser cache because you change the style.css file.

Because the browser will cache the CSS and JS file. Sometimes you need to clear the browser cache or server cache to see the change.

Please check it again.

Thanks.

Hi, I noticed that my child theme style.css has a version to it's name

style.css?ver=5.8.3:324

and this version changes only after several minutes (increments the number after :.

How can I disable this versioning so the front-end always loads the latest style.css?

Thank you.

Hi again.

The browser or server will cache the CSS and JS files. The version is the WordPress version.

If you are using the cache server, please clear that cache after changing that file.

Thanks.
