What Is Caching in Wix?

Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 8:38 am

Caching is an important process that helps speed up loading times and reduce server strain. When a user visits a website, their web browser will save certain files to its cache.

This means that the next time the user visits the site, their browser can load the cached files instead of having to request them from the server again. This can dramatically improve loading times, especially for sites with lots of images or other large files.

GREAT NEWS:

Exciting update! We've collaborated with Wix to offer WBI users with a free plan for all website creation needs - Explore the details here.

Wix uses caching to improve performance for both users and site owners. For users, this means that your site will load faster and be more responsive.

For site owners, it means that your site can handle more traffic without slowing down.

How Wix Caching Works

Wix uses a server-side caching system. This means that when a user visits your site, the Wix servers will save a copy of your site’s files to their cache.

The next time a user visits your site, they will be able to load the cached version of your site from the Wix servers instead of your own server. This can greatly reduce loading times, as well as reduce strain on your own server.

Enabling Caching on Your Site

Wix automatically enables caching for all sites on our platform. You do not need to do anything to enable caching for your site.

PRO TIP: Caching in Wix can be a great way to improve the performance of your website. However, it is important to be aware that caching can also cause problems if not used correctly. For example, if you make a change to your website and then clear the cache, the change may not take effect immediately because the old cached version of your website will still be served to visitors. Therefore, it is important to be careful when using caching and to always test your website after making changes to ensure that the changes are taking effect.

Clearing Your Cache

If you need to clear your cache, you can do so from the Wix Editor. Just click on the “Site” tab and then select “Clear Site Cache” from the drop-down menu.

You can also clear your cache from the Wix Dashboard. Just click on the “Clear Cache” button in the “Performance” section.
