Page caching and asset loading issues in liferay portals , best way to troubleshoot?

Hi everyone,
I’ve been noticing some odd behavior with page caching and static assets on a Liferay portal, where updates don’t always show up right away and some interactive elements load inconsistently across browsers. It gets more noticeable on pages that use a lot of scripts and media.

I was testing something similar while working on a small spelling game website, and it made me think about how Liferay handles cache layers, CDN integration, and browser-side storage.

Has anyone dealt with this kind of issue before? Do you usually start by checking Liferay’s cache settings, theme resources, or the web server configuration when assets don’t update properly?

Hey @indila9934, Just jumping in to note that in the Server Administration panel there are a couple settings that you can use to clear cached content at various levels. This might be useful for you while you are troubleshooting. - https://learn.liferay.com/w/dxp/security-and-administration/administration/using-the-server-administration-panel/managing-system-resources#server-administration-resources-reference My usual process is to start by checking Browser and CDN Cache then move to Liferay frontend and sever-side caching. Best of Luck!

Hello @indila9934 ,

Lowest effort would probably be at browser level first as a sanity check, testing with incognito and different browsers.

The following resources could also help narrow down the behavior:
