While developing your site sometimes you'll need to refresh the CDN cache
How Super sites update
Super creates a static version of your Notion page and caches it to deliver it super fast to your users and search engines.
In creating the static page, we manage the load on Notion, and we cache the static page in our Content Delivery Network. Also, the browser caches pages too.
Here's what's going on behind the scenes:
- Super sites are designed to stay up to date on demand which means that page updates are triggered by site visits.
- When you visit a site page, the Content Delivery Network refreshes the page cache in the background.
- When you refresh the page in your browser after about one to two minutes, you will see the new version of the page.
This approach delivers fast pages to maximise User Experience and SEO performance.
How to work with the performance cache
The fastest and best way to update the content from Notion in Super, and clear the CDN cache is to:
- Press the dashboard refresh button in the top right of the Super Dashboard above the preview window.
- If you hover over this button it will show you the last synced edit time of the Notion page too.
Automatic page publishing updates are triggered by site visits or the dashboard refresh button, and one or two visits to the page will see any inconsistencies ironed out as the updated content and CSS is rolled out across the pages.
When you are developing a site, a page can be built by Super with a certain set of content and CSS code. This built page is published and cached to our Content Delivery Network, and if you're also browsing the site, it can also be cached by your browser.
If you see inconsistencies please press the dashboard refresh button as described above.
How to keep your site up to date
Super will keep your site up-to-date based on site visits. With frequent traffic to your site, the update becomes automatic and invisible.
If you need more control over when the content is published to your site, please consider using Manual Publishing feature of Super.
