CSS changes slow to show up

Permalink
Wondering if anyone can help with this one or had a similar experience.

When I attempt to make CSS changes to my custom theme, the change takes upwards of an hour+ to actually show up. Thinking it might be my custom theme, I tried making a simple CSS change to a core theme, but that still took a bit of time to show up.

Any ideas? Many thanks in advance!!!

Its probably your browser cache. Reload with ctl+F5, or just switch it off (and turn it on again later)

There are also browser plugins that can make sure css is reloaded. For example, I use Chrome with the Pendule plugin.

Hi John,

Thanks for the reply! Unfortunately it's not the cache. Using the develop menu in safari I have cleared and disabled the cache. Still no luck. Also tried similar method using firebug on FF. I did some digging around and the only thing I found was that it may be related to the DB. Any idea on that?

Is the concrete5 cache enabled?

What happens if you view in a different browser?

I tested it with c5 cache on and off and variations in between.

I also tested it on Safari, Chrome, FF & Opera. Same issue.

Are you accessing the internet or this site via a proxy server? A proxy server can have its own caching.

Or maybe your host has a level of caching enabled above your actual web server. Perhaps with the host's own proxy server.

(Back in the distant past I used to get this sort of problem a lot with AOL)

I think you're on the right track. I was using a CDN service to help speed up the site. It has it's own caching and that's the likely culprit (fingers crossed). I am disabling it now and i'll post back when that's complete.

thanks for you input john, definitely appreciated to talk things through with someone.

cheers!
