# Failing update stylesheet

* Hello dev and everyone,
* First of all, thank you for this plugin, it really made my website faster! I’m
not the best web developer so the question probably is an easy fix..
* The theme I’m currently using is woocommerce’s: superstore, which has 2 main
stylesheets. First is called style.css and the other is custom.css (which is
the one that I edit). When I update the custom.css, my site doesn’t show the
changes I made, even though I flushed the cache.. Also it looks like the custom.
css isn’t being minified, I think that has to do something with it.. Is there
a setting I’m missing?

* It could be that custom.css is printed before style.css, for example:
*
* Could you please take a look at your site’s source code and see if that’s the
case? Normally custom.css won’t be minified because it is dynamically generated.

* Thank you for replying so fast!
* In my case the custom.css is printed last of all in the Head section.. I see
that the style gets minified and the js also.

I’ve made a screenshot for more detailed info.

* I don’t know why, but the changes I made (in the custom.css) were added just
now.. But as soon as I try to add new stuff, it doesn’t change it.
* It looks like the flushing doesn’t work and the minify rebuilds itself after
a certain time.

* That sounds like a caching issue, can you try visiting your custom.css via a
browser and then press Ctrl + F5 to see if the changes are shown?

* The changes aren’t show, is it linked with the _maxage_ function?
* Maybe I could lower the _maxage_ value?

* It just updated again… Is it possible that when I change the maxage that it wil
update faster?

* Your custom.css is not minified (shown as themes/superstore/custom.css) so changing
maxage won’t solve anything. You probably have some caching setting server-side,
perhaps some far-expire header for CSS file?

* Not that I know of, before I used this plugin, I was using w3 total cache. I
just had to flush the cache and al my changes were live, but the plugin was unstable(
caused the site to crash…) and so i had to delete it.
* How can I see if I have the expire header?

* It appears that I still was using cloudflare, which was also doing some cache
stuff.. I’m putting it on hold so that I can edit.
* Thanks for helping me! 🙂
