Manage your website cache

Web category images and product units of measure are stored in the cache. Caching this data reduces the website load time because it downloads the web category image files once rather than each time the site is accessed. If you make changes to your images, you can refresh this content so that the latest information and images display immediately on your site; otherwise it updates overnight. You may want to use this feature while you are building your website or whenever you add new web categories so that you can ensure images and other details display as expected.

1. Log in to Web Administration.
2. Click Manage Cache. All Cache keys appear. A cache key represents the type of information cached.

   

3. Select the check boxes beside the content that you want to update on your website, and then click the Reload button.

   Note:  If you want to delete the entire cache, click the Remove button.

4. After you click Reload, the # Items column displays the total number of entries (including the most recent additions) for a key. For example, 6 web categories. To see a list of those reloaded items as they are organized in the system, click the View link beside the # Items.

   

5. You can then click the + sign beside each item to drill in and view the full hierarchical organization. When you have finished, click the X in the title bar to close.
6. When you have finished, you can Log out of Web Administration or continue to Configure your site layout with Web Admin.
