What I’m seeing is: When I update any file in my ftp docs folder, it does not give me any error, but when I try to access the file through the web, it shows me the old file. So, I deleted all the files in my ftp folder and I tried to access the main.css file and it was possible. In the FTP Client I deleted my main.css file because it couldn’t update, but it was still acessible in https://mmcstudios.ga/main.css. The only thing that worked was uploading the same file with a different name and change the references to it, but when I needed to update that file, it was not possible again. So, if you see my website, it is apparently empty, but you can access mmcstudios.ga/main.css and many other old files, don’t matter what I do. Do you have any solution?
I’m using this software: Filezilla FTP Client and Google Chrome
One of Cloudflare’s key features is that they cache static files like CSS, JS and images on their network. This way, when visitors open your website, these files can be served directly from Cloudflare’s network and are not retrieved from your hosting account every time. Generally, this is useful, because this way these files can be loaded faster (because Cloudflare’s global network is closer to your visitors) and reduce server load.
The downside of this feature is that any changes you make to this file will take a while to be visible. Only when Cloudflare decides to download the file from your hosting account, they will see that it has changed (or has been removed) and send the new response to visitors.
For most websites, this is an acceptable trade-off. After all, these files don’t change very often on most sites, and are downloaded a lot more than they are updated.
If you want to see the changed files right now, you can:
Use the Purge Cache feature on Cloudflare’s website to force Cloudflare to download a new version of the file.
Enable Development Mode in Cloudflare. This will temporarily bypass all Cloudflare cache so you can immediately see any changes you made.
Disable cache entirely in Cloudflare (not recommended).
