Cache Manager

Keep your website fast and current by controlling how often Index render refreshes your pages.

Overview

The Cache Manager allows you to control how URLs are cached, refreshed, and removed. You can manage cache expiration, clear cached pages, and monitor performance through the Cache Manager table.

Add URLs

Under the Cache Manager menu, click Add URLs above the table to add up to 100 URLs at once.

  • Choose to cache Desktop version
  • Choose to cache Mobile version
  • Or cache both versions
URLs added this way will have the source marked as "Site".

Cache Expiration

Cache Expiration determines how often a page is re-cached.

  • Short durations (6h – 1 day) → Best for frequently updated pages
  • Long durations (7 – 30 days) → Ideal for static content
