= When should I empty which cache? =

{{attachment:lightning.png}}

==== General Information ====

There are '''three types''' of caches you should know about:

 * '''Typo3 Page Cache''' stores the ee.ethz pages to grant visitors a faster access.
 * '''Real URL cache''' stores the links to each ee.ethz page.
 * '''Browser Page Cache''' stores all pages you visit in your browser to grant you a faster access to the pages you already visited. This has nothing to do with the ee.ethz Typo3 environment.


How to empty each of them you see in '''Question 2 '' "How to empty the cache?" '''''


==== Answer ====

It can happen that the information stored in the cache is not up-to-date due to changes you did recently. This sometimes causes some problems.
Typical problems and approaches are listed below.

 * If you '''click on a link''' (e.g. in the menu) in the frontend and a '''wrong page appears''', even tough you linked everything right, there may be a cache-problem. -> Empty the '''''Real URL Cache''''' and try again.
 * You edited a page and your '''browser still shows the old page'''. -> Empty the '''''Browser Page Cache''''' and if that doesn't help, empty the '''''Typo3 Page Cache'''''
