Cache Clearing Sequence

After updating divi theme, wp super cache and wp speedster and then clear cloudflare cache site styles distrubed
disturbed
What is sequence to above apply

The issue you’re experiencing is likely due to cached assets (CSS/JS) not updating properly or conflicting with each other after the updates. Here's the ideal sequence to minimize these issues and ensure your site styles load correctly:

### Recommended Steps:

1. **Clear Cloudflare Cache First**
– Log in to your Cloudflare dashboard.
– Navigate to the **Caching** section.
– Click **Purge Everything** to clear the cache completely.

2. **Clear WP Super Cache**
– Go to your WordPress Admin Panel.
– Navigate to **Settings > WP Super Cache**.
– Clear the cache by clicking on **Delete Cache** or similar.

3. **Regenerate W3Speedster Files**
– If W3Speedster is optimizing CSS/JS, clear or regenerate its cache.
– Ensure W3Speedster has re-optimized files for the latest changes in the Divi theme.

4. **Clear Browser Cache**
– Instruct your browser to clear its cache or open the site in an incognito/private window to check for style issues.

5. **Test for Conflicts**
– If styles are still disturbed:
– Temporarily deactivate W3Speedster to see if it’s causing optimization conflicts.
– Check for any errors in the browser's developer console (e.g., missing CSS files, 404 errors, etc.).

6. **Re-enable and Re-optimize**
– Re-enable W3Speedster and ensure all CSS/JS assets are minified and optimized correctly.
– Test the site after reapplying optimizations.

7. **Update Cloudflare Settings (Optional)**
– If Cloudflare is using its **Automatic Platform Optimization (APO)** or **Rocket Loader**, disable these temporarily to rule out conflicts.

### Notes:
– **Order of Updates**: Update Divi first, followed by plugins like WP Super Cache and W3Speedster.
– Ensure the Cloudflare cache is cleared last, as cached old files from Cloudflare can interfere after updates.
– Consider enabling **Development Mode** in Cloudflare during updates and testing.

This sequence ensures any cached files are invalidated and the updated versions are properly loaded across your stack. Let me know if the issue persists!

How to regenerate w3speedster css

To regenerate CSS in W3Speedster after updates or changes, follow these steps:

### Steps to Regenerate W3Speedster CSS:

1. **Access the WordPress Admin Panel**
Log in to your WordPress dashboard.

2. **Navigate to W3Speedster Settings**
– Go to **Settings > W3Speedster** or the section where W3Speedster settings are located in your admin panel.

3. **Clear Existing Cache**
– Look for an option like **Clear Cache** or **Delete Cached Files** and click it.
This will remove the previously cached CSS and JS files.

4. **Force Regeneration of Optimized CSS**
– Locate the **Regenerate CSS/JS** or similar option in W3Speedster (some versions might automatically regenerate after clearing the cache).
– If there's no specific button for regeneration, saving the settings (without changes) often triggers the regeneration process.

5. **Reoptimize Files**
– If W3Speedster has an **Optimize Now** button, click it to ensure the plugin scans and re-optimizes CSS and JS files.
– Alternatively, toggle any setting related to CSS/JS optimization (e.g., enable/disable minification) and save changes to trigger regeneration.

6. **Test the Site**
– Open your website in an incognito or private browser window.
– Ensure the styles are loading correctly. Use the browser's developer tools (`F12` or `Ctrl+Shift+I`) to check for any missing or incorrectly loaded CSS files.

### Additional Tips:
– **Clear Other Caches**: After regenerating W3Speedster files, clear the WP Super Cache and Cloudflare cache to avoid serving outdated assets.
– **Enable Debugging (if necessary)**: Some versions of W3Speedster have a debug mode to identify issues with CSS or JS optimization.

This process ensures your CSS is regenerated and properly reflects the changes made after theme or plugin updates.

But we have already updated things how to fix it now

Since the updates are already applied and the styles are disturbed, you can troubleshoot and fix the issue using the following steps:

—

### 1. **Clear All Caches Again**
– **Cloudflare**:
– Log in to Cloudflare and navigate to **Caching > Purge Everything**. This ensures any outdated cached assets (CSS/JS) are removed.
– **WP Super Cache**:
– Go to **Settings > WP Super Cache** in WordPress and clear the cache.
– **W3Speedster**:
– Access **Settings > W3Speedster** and clear or regenerate the cache.
– **Browser Cache**:
– Test the site in an **incognito/private window** to bypass browser caching.

—

### 2. **Check for Missing or Conflicting CSS**
– Open your browser's **Developer Tools** (`F12` or `Ctrl+Shift+I`) and navigate to the **Console** or **Network** tabs.
– Look for missing CSS files (404 errors) or JavaScript errors.
– If you see errors, note the file paths and confirm if those files exist on the server.

—

### 3. **Temporarily Disable W3Speedster**
– Disable W3Speedster temporarily:
– Go to **Plugins** in WordPress and deactivate W3Speedster.
– Check if the styles are fixed:
– If the styles are restored, the issue is with the CSS/JS optimization settings in W3Speedster.

—

### 4. **Reoptimize with W3Speedster**
If disabling W3Speedster resolves the issue:
– Re-enable it and:
1. Open W3Speedster settings.
2. Toggle off **CSS Minification** and save the settings.
3. Test the site. If it works, toggle the setting back on and regenerate the CSS cache.

—

### 5. **Sync Theme and Plugin Files**
– Ensure your updated Divi theme has all its files properly uploaded.
– Go to **Divi > Theme Options > Builder > Advanced** and clear the **static CSS file generation** if enabled.
– Re-save theme options and regenerate the static CSS.

—

### 6. **Check Cloudflare Settings**
– Disable **Rocket Loader** in Cloudflare (found under **Speed > Optimization**).
– Ensure **Development Mode** is active temporarily while debugging.

—

### 7. **Rollback (If Necessary)**
– If nothing works, you may need to rollback:
– Use a backup or staging site to roll back Divi, WP Super Cache, or W3Speedster to their previous versions.
– Test and reapply updates carefully.

—

### 8. **Contact Support**
If the above steps don’t work:
– Reach out to the Divi theme support team or the W3Speedster plugin developers for assistance.
– They might have specific fixes for compatibility issues between their updates.

These steps should help restore your site styles and resolve caching-related conflicts. Let me know if you need detailed guidance on any of these steps!

Site Design and speed working well when we use cloudflare maintenance mode

If your site design and speed work well in **Cloudflare Maintenance Mode**, the issue is likely with Cloudflare's caching or optimization settings interfering with updated CSS/JS files or conflicting with other caching/optimization plugins (like WP Super Cache or W3Speedster). Here’s how to fix it:

—

### **Fixing the Issue**

#### 1. **Purge Cloudflare Cache**
– Go to your **Cloudflare Dashboard**:
– Navigate to **Caching > Configuration > Purge Everything**.
– This removes all cached assets (CSS/JS) and forces Cloudflare to fetch fresh files from your server.

—

#### 2. **Disable Cloudflare Optimizations Temporarily**
Some settings in Cloudflare might conflict with your theme and plugins. Try these steps:
– **Disable Rocket Loader**:
– Go to **Speed > Optimization** in Cloudflare.
– Turn off **Rocket Loader** (it may conflict with scripts).
– **Disable Minification**:
– In **Speed > Optimization**, turn off **Auto Minify** for CSS, JS, and HTML.
– **Disable Brotli Compression** (temporarily):
– Navigate to **Speed > Optimization** and turn off Brotli compression.

—

#### 3. **Enable Development Mode**
– Activate **Development Mode** in Cloudflare:
– Go to **Caching > Configuration > Development Mode**.
– This bypasses Cloudflare’s cache and allows you to test changes live.
– Test your site for 3-4 hours while this mode is active.

—

#### 4. **Regenerate Cache on Your Server**
After purging Cloudflare’s cache, clear other caches:
– **WP Super Cache**:
– Go to **Settings > WP Super Cache** and click **Delete Cache**.
– **W3Speedster**:
– Clear its cache or regenerate files as per plugin settings.

—

#### 5. **Review Theme Settings (Divi Specific)**
Divi uses static CSS file generation, which may cause conflicts with caching:
– Go to **Divi > Theme Options > Builder > Advanced**.
– **Disable Static CSS File Generation** temporarily and save changes.
– Reload your site and check for style fixes.
– Re-enable it afterward and clear all caches again.

—

#### 6. **Gradually Re-Enable Cloudflare Features**
– Re-enable the following one by one, testing the site each time:
– **Rocket Loader**.
– **Auto Minify** for CSS/JS/HTML.
– **Brotli Compression**.
– If any of these cause issues, keep them disabled.

—

### **Final Notes**
– **Why Maintenance Mode Works:**
In Maintenance Mode, Cloudflare bypasses certain optimizations and serves files directly from your origin server, avoiding conflicts with cached/stale files.
– **Permanent Fix:** Fine-tune Cloudflare’s settings as suggested above, and ensure that your theme and plugins' caches are cleared and synced properly.
