Website Shows Old Content After Deployment

Resolve stale-content issues caused by browser cache, CDN cache, or propagation timing.

Home / Support / Shared Hosting / Old Content After Deployment

Why This Happens

Old content usually indicates caching or routing mismatch, not failed deployment.

Recommended workflow

  1. Browser cache still serves old static assets.
  2. CDN edge nodes hold previous file versions.
  3. DNS points some visitors to old origin during propagation.
  4. Build artifacts were uploaded to wrong directory.

Fix Steps

Use this sequence to isolate and clear stale responses.

Recommended workflow

  1. Hard-refresh and test in private browser mode.
  2. Purge CDN cache for changed assets and pages.
  3. Verify document root and deployment target path.
  4. Test from another network/region to compare behavior.
