XF 2.0 Caching issue with Cloudflare

[jr777]

I've got this really weird caching issue. While I was building my homepage, I used an image just as an experiment to see how it looked. Happy with the effect, I then found a more suitable image for the final product.

But now it's randomly showing the old image. I thought maybe it was a browser thing, but even after clearing my browser it's still not behaving. I'm using Cloudflare on the advice of a friend. She said it would make my site run faster and whatnot. Could that be the problem?

It shouldn't be an issue we use cloudflare on our site and our changes are immedaite but follow this tutorial and Purge the cache

I can't say it's made my site faster, but considering my pages loaded in well under a second anyways I don't think that can be improved upon. What it has done is made my email delivery more reliable. I don't know why, but it did.

I tried clearing the cache but it didn't help. Then I saw the toggle for development mode and thought, okay I'll give this a try, and voila, the correct image loaded immediately.

So it is cloudflare that's causing the issue. I just can't figure out why clearing the cache didn't help. I cleared the entire thing, so it should have worked.

Okay, I took it out of development mode and cleared the cache again. Can you go to my site and tell me what image you see on the homepage? I'm still seeing the correct one.

You don't see the background image? That image there should be superimposed over a background image of a christmas market.

The home page should look like this:

Nope, no background when I tried earlier.

There is now though, along with falling snow ...

Thank you for the update.

I may just have to forget about Cloudflare and find another solution. It might be the way my server is set up, like something between Linode and Cloudflare just doesn't mesh right.

Are you caching locally as well as with the CDN? Therefore the CDN is caching the old image that is presented ?

I'm not sure what you mean. Unfortunately that's all greek to me.

CDN. Content delivery network - cloudflare.

Is there any chance you are running a cache on your webhost and then also the CDN ?

I use cloudflare on our site and no issues we manually went back to 1.5 and no issues any change in make is instant even with cloudflare I'm not sure why his site is acting up

That could be. I use Linode for my host. I don't know of any cache, but that doesn't mean anything. I'll ask someone.
