A WordPress site can have several caches at once. Clearing only one may leave an old page visible, so it helps to know which layer you are purging.
1. Purge the WordPress cache plugin
For LiteSpeed Cache, use LiteSpeed Cache → Toolbox → Purge → Purge All. Hostinger documents both the WordPress-admin method and advanced alternatives in its LiteSpeed guide.
2. Flush Hostinger cache
In hPanel, open the site and check WordPress → Overview for the cache-flush control. Hostinger’s general cache guide also covers browser and hosting layers.
3. Purge CDN cache
If a CDN is enabled, purge it separately. CDN caching is not necessarily cleared by a WordPress plugin purge.
4. Refresh your browser
Hard-refresh or use a private window. If another device sees the new page while yours does not, local cache is the likely culprit.
When developing
Do not repeatedly purge caches if you can temporarily use an appropriate development mode. Re-enable normal caching when the editing session is finished so visitors receive the performance benefit.
Cache-layer checklist
Use the symptom to choose the next check instead of changing several settings at once. Make one change, retest the exact URL, and keep a note of what changed.
| Symptom | What it suggests | Next check |
|---|---|---|
| Browser | Only your device is stale | Hard refresh or private window |
| WordPress plugin | Logged-out page is stale | Purge the cache plugin |
| Hostinger/server | Several devices are stale | Flush hosting cache |
| CDN | Different regions remain stale | Purge CDN cache |
Before you make a risky change
Take a current backup or restore point before editing configuration files, permissions, PHP settings or database URLs. Avoid deleting unrelated DNS, email, security or rewrite rules simply to see whether the problem disappears.
How to confirm the fix
Retest the exact public URL in a private browser window and, where relevant, on a second device or network. A fix is only confirmed when the original symptom is gone without creating a new error elsewhere on the site.
