Do you ever wonder why the changes you make on your Divi website don’t reflect when you try to check it on the front end? That is because you need to clear cache. In this post, I’m going to explain a number of ways on how to clear cache in Divi Theme.

After you have cleared web browser cache, you can clear cache in Divi theme using the following methods:
How to Clear Cache in Divi Theme
Method 1: Clear Divi Cache in Divi Theme Options
The good news is that there is a way of clearing Divi Theme cache from within Divi Theme Options.
Go to Divi Theme Options > Builder > Advanced > Static CSS File Generation. Click to disable the static CSS file generation, then enable it back and click the “Clear” button.
Now, go back to view your website on the front and check if you see the changes that you have made. If you still can’t see them, you may want to try method #2.
Method 2: Clear Cache in Divi Theme With a Plugin
There are lots of plugins out there that you can use to help your clear cache in Divi Theme. Some of them include WP Rocket, W3 Total Cache, and WP Super Cache. There is the option to clear cache in each of these plugin’s settings.
Also, if you use a CDN, e.g. Cloudflare, you will need to purge cache. You will find this option in the settings of your CDN dashboard.
Method 3: Clear Web Hosting Provider Cache
The other thing you may need to do is to clear your web hosting provider cache. Not all web hosts have this option, but my host, Eco Web Hosting, uses the StackCache app. You will find it in your Site Tools on the left-hand side of the admin dashboard. You can use it to purge cache for your website.
Method 4: Use Chrome Extension
Finally, if you need to clear your browser cache often, e.g. when you are developing Divi Child Themes, you may want to install the Cache Killer Chrome extension to your browser. You can easily clear your browser cache with just one click.
