In the previous update, we enhanced the Lottie Icon module by introducing support for dotLottie files, a more lightweight and efficient format. This new file type is much smaller in size compared to standard Lottie JSON files, offering a noticeable boost in website performance. By switching to dotLottie, you can reduce load times and improve the overall user experience, making your site faster and more responsive.

Cache plays a critical role in delivering smooth website performance, but it can also lead to frustrating issues when outdated files are loaded for visitors instead of the latest changes. This often causes styling issues or prevents updates from being visible on the front end. The new Divi Pixel settings provide more control and flexibility, ensuring that your website’s cache is handled efficiently and automatically without unnecessary delays.

In this post, we’ll explore why clearing the Divi cache is essential, the newly introduced cache settings in Divi Pixel, and how you can take advantage of options like scheduled cache clearing and event-based cache clearing to keep your website running smoothly.

Why Clearing the Divi Cache is Critical

When the cache doesn’t reflect the most recent changes, visitors may see outdated styles or layouts, leading to a poor user experience. This is where clearing the Divi cache becomes critical. By clearing the cache, you can ensure that the latest version of your site is rendered for all users, ensuring a seamless and visually consistent experience.

Regular cache clearing helps prevent conflicts and errors, especially when using third-party modules or making frequent changes to your Divi layouts. It’s a simple yet crucial task for maintaining a healthy and up-to-date Divi site.

New Clear Divi Cache Settings Available in the Divi Pixel Plugin

Now, Divi Pixel takes it a step further by adding brand new settings that allow for automated cache management. You no longer need to remember to manually clear the cache after every update. With the new options, you can set the plugin to automatically clear the cache on a schedule or after specific WordPress events. This automation is designed to save you time and prevent common cache-related headaches, ensuring your site always displays correctly for visitors.

Clear Divi Cache on a Schedule

This feature is perfect for websites that are frequently updated or sites that rely heavily on third-party modules. By scheduling regular cache clearings, you can reduce the likelihood of visitors encountering outdated content or broken styles, ensuring your pages always look their best.

Clear Divi Cache on Specific Events

With this new setting, you can choose to clear the Divi cache after any of the following events: theme or plugin updates, saving posts, or exiting the Divi Visual Builder. This is especially useful when using Divi Library items in third-party modules, where styling might break unless the cache is cleared. You can select multiple events to ensure the cache is flushed as needed, helping your site reflect changes instantly and preventing potential layout problems.

The latest Divi Pixel update offers powerful new tools for effortless cache management. With options to automate cache clearing on a schedule or after specific WordPress events, your site stays up-to-date and free of common styling issues. These new settings save time and keep your user experience smooth.
