Cache

Enable, disable, and purge server-side caching with Hostinger's Cache Manager in hPanel to speed up your website and keep visitors seeing fresh content.

Server-side cache stores generated HTML pages and serves them without re-running PHP or database queries. In hPanel the tool is called Cache Manager, under Advanced.

Enable cache

1. Open your website dashboard.

2. Go to Advanced → Cache Manager.

3. Toggle Automatic cache on.

With automatic cache on, the cache clears itself every 30 minutes — stale content ages out without manual purging.

Disable cache

Cache Manager → toggle Automatic cache off.

Clear cache

After updating content or code, purge the cache so visitors see the new version.

1. Go to Advanced → Cache Manager.

2. Click Purge all — or purge a specific URL if only one page changed.

Next visit regenerates each purged page.

When to purge

Purge after:

• Content updates

• Theme or style changes

• Code deployments

• Plugin installs or updates

• Config changes

WordPress caching

If you use a WordPress caching plugin (LiteSpeed Cache, W3 Total Cache), it runs alongside the server-side cache. Clear both after changes.

WordPress sites on Hostinger additionally get LiteSpeed and Object Cache toggles with their own settings — see WordPress Overview.

Cache exclusions

Pages that shouldn't be cached (carts, checkouts, user dashboards) are usually excluded automatically by caching plugins that understand dynamic content. If a specific page keeps serving stale content, purge its URL from Cache Manager.
