Wordpress LScache Plugin: Site shows old version for half a second
Last Updated on: Wed, 15 Apr 2026 00:00:02 Hi, Ive created a site using an Astra Starter Template + Elementor. Even though I have heavily modified the template, colors, photos etc, everytime I load any of the pages, for half a second I see their original versions I imported from astra, and then it loads the current version. Also I cant see live changes to the website if I just hit Update on Elementor, unless I purge the cache from LS after I change something. But this issue just makes my work harder and I could live with it. The first one is the bigger issue as website visitors see a pink website with strange photos for half a second before seeing our real website? This only happens with Lightspeed Cache enabled. I have Purged All caches a ton of times as I cant see changes without doing so I have emptied the entire cache I turned Off JS Combine I added Elementor to JS Excludes I flushed the server cache from Cpanel Nothing works. Please help! Thank you! The page I need help with: https://kadata.ro/ Hi, please try disable load async CSS or generate Critical CSS , or purge all - CCSS Best regards, Hi. Your solution fixed the second part of the problem. I still have the first part ? the old page structure appears for a second before loading the new site. I have been working on the site for more than a month, did tons of purges, even used Empy Entire Cache ? still no fix. I also manually deleted all the files from the LSCache folder using File Manager. I uninstalled the plugin and then deleted the files again and when I reinstalled it, it still had my settings, so that leads me to believe that there are leftover files when you uninstall the plugin, I just couldnt find them. This means there could also be a leftover cache file from when I first installed the plugin. I would really like to use LSCache but this problem drives me nuts. I have tried everything. The moment I disable the add-on the site works perfectly. Im having a similar problem I have updated an article but it still doesnt show the updated version even after I deactivate the plugin. but mine still shows the same older version.
