Frontend doesn't show changes made in CSS

Solved. It was a caching matter with Sucuri who we use. We cleared it there and css showed fine.

It means apache is caching to and after apache cache reset it will show your changes.

I don't see improvements with apache cache no. I do with varnish tho.

I am quite new to Joomla and are trying to learn how to build my own template.
When I first started to do changes in CSS it all worked well, it updated quickly. But now when I have made changes in my CSS, it takes 10 - 20 minutes until it shows on the frontend.
I have tried to clear the cache in Joomla and also tried different web browsers but its still the same. Then I thought it might have to do with my host but when i publish/unpublish modules the change shows immediately.

At the moment the only CSS I have is this:

Code: Select all

.maincontent {
  background-color:#FFFFFF;
  border-left:1px solid #999999;
  border-right:1px solid #999999;
  box-shadow:0px 2px 10px 2px #BDBDBD;
  padding:2px;
}

I have removed everything else in case there was some conflicts.

First time I noticed this delay was when i added a background color for .body

Does anyone know what to do? Why is it so slow?

Thank you!

Something you need to check

- Your site under CDN: if you are using cloudflare or maxcdn, you may turn off the caching from remote service to make static files change immediately
- Your hosting proxy cache: there are some hosting provider have static file cache under there proxy. You may login to control panel hosting and turn it off.

hope it help

It looks that these cache problem is akin to the joomla backend. When you start the computer open your site it will show the changed CSS style. Login to your backend and see your site the changed css stylesheet would have gone.

So the best solution is to just wait for the backend cache to go by itself. I tried clearing all cache but nothing works. I am glad that when I do not login to backend then the site is reflecting the changed css style.

Had the same problem and successfully solved it by disabling SuperCacher on my hosting server (in my case - SiteGround. cPanel -> SuperCacher -> disable)
