Server-Level WordPress Cache Clearing Methods

When urgent changes on your WordPress site aren’t showing up, whether it’s updating WooCommerce pricing during a sale or correcting content during peak traffic, the first thing you should try is clearing the cache.

Managing one WordPress site is typically straightforward, but when you’re running multiple sites for different clients or brands, things can get a bit tricky.
