Using NGINX Caching in cPanel

What is NGINX Caching?

Using NGINX caching on your website can improve its performance, by storing and serving cached versions of your site's content. Pages can be loaded faster for your visitors providing a better user experience!

However, it's important to note that when you make updates to your website, the cached versions may not immediately reflect those changes. To ensure that your latest updates are visible, you might need to temporarily disable caching or manually clear (flush) it.

The good news is that with cPanel, managing NGINX caching is a breeze! You can easily enable, disable, or flush the cache directly from the right-hand sidebar, without having to navigate through menus.

1. How to Locate NGINX Caching
  • Start by opening your cPanel dashboard and logging in with your username and password
