browser fetches old page

    Hello.

    I’m using w3tc and cloudflare. Website has been running half a year. Couple months ago I did set new front page “sorry” so the people who visit would see maintanace page while I was fixing minor css. Next day I changed front page back to default.

    After 2 months the page “sorry” still serves up sometimes as front page. e.g doing Google’s website speed test. Even there sometimes the “sorry” page comes up, sometimes not.

    The “sorry” page is served even in explorer/firefox/chrome.. sometimes the front page is served “sorry” page and sometimes the front page is served default page, in chrome it is more frequent to be served “sorry” page as front page than in firefox.

    So… month ago I was so overwhelmed from it already I deleted the “sorry” page from wordpress completely. After deletion I cleaned up revisions/database with this plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/rvg-optimize-database/ deleted all.

    After that I cleared cache with w3tc and purged cache with cloudflare as well… and now the page still comes up as front page… some times… how the hell I can remove it, so the front page would be the one I’ve set months ago “default”. I think funny in this scenario is that the browsers and speed tests get sometimes the new content and sometimes the old one… By old i mean 2 months old.

    SUMMARY:
    1)cleared w3tc cache
    2)purged cloudflare cache
    3)deleted cookies/history in browsers
    4)deleted “sorry” page
    5)deleted revisions
    6)cleaned/optimized database https://wordpress.org/plugins/rvg-optimize-database/
    7)deleted cookies/history in browser
    8)cleared w3tc cache
    9)purged cloudflare cache

    I Did these steps multiple times… I dont understand. Any solutions?

    Hello Vicky!

    Yeah im not to comfortable sharing the link since its bit nsfw. But for example when I do google speed test then it gives results for phone and computer.

    computer: http://prntscr.com/7g1cu9
    phone: http://prntscr.com/7g1cw0

    On these links you can see one front page has images and text. Other link have just text (everything is blurred so you can watch them at work as well.)

    But it doesnt have to be like that. Sometimes the text appears on laptop results and images appear in phone results… sometimes they both appear text, sometimes they both appear images.

    The text is the front page that i’ve set 2 months ago for 2-3 days. After that I changed front page back to default (the one with images) .

    The text page is deleted and as u can see, it still shows up. Any ideas?

    EDIT: Here I did another speed test with google and now its other way around: phone has images, desktop has old deleted page (text page) as front page

    Computer: http://prntscr.com/7g1llg
    phone: http://prntscr.com/7g1ly3

    Hopefully you see now what I mean
