How To Clear Cache In WordPress


Note: WordPress itself doesn't have a cache, however Cache plugins are commonly used to speed a website up. We strongly recommend the LiteSpeed Cache plugin for clients on our Personal, Business and Premium hosting (and any server with Litespeed). Click here for a guide on installing it.

Please note that the information in this guide is provided as a suggestion, and we can't provide detailed support for modifications to a Content Management System. If you require assistance with this, we'd recommend speaking to your website developer to ensure relevance and compatibility with your site.

Clear Cache in WP LiteSpeed Cache
The WP LiteSpeed cache works on a server level, so it's able to manage its cached data more effectively than other caching plugins. For this reason, there is no 'clear cache' function included in the plugin, as it's not required.
