What is caching, and why does it affect the display of new courses on SimplyLearn?

Have you created a new course that doesn't show up immediately? The culprit is often something called caching. Let's take a closer look at what caching is, why it's important, and how it affects the display of your courses on SimplyLearn.

What is caching, and how does it work?

Think of caching as a digital notepad for the website. When someone visits the page, a copy of the content is stored to make future visits faster. This is usually good for performance, but it can lead to new changes not being displayed immediately – especially for administrators.

How do you reset caching?

Want to see the changes right away? You can reset the caching. Click on "Breeze" and then "Purge all cache". This resets the stored cache, so the system starts anew with fresh information. The result? The system fetches new data instead of using old, stored information.

Conclusion

Caching is a double-edged sword: It improves performance but can delay the display of new content. By understanding and managing caching effectively, you ensure that your content is always up-to-date and visible to all users.
