I’ve been working on some client sites hosted on one.com recently and hit a frustrating issue. Whatever changes I made to the CSS or PHP files, nothing changed on the live site. After much checking of account details, FTP logins and that I was actually working on the right site (yes that has happened before!) I hit Google to see if anyone else was having the same problems.

The Good News

It turns out One.com cache files and it can last up to 30 minutes. While that’s great for speed and keeping server load down once sites are live, developing often involves lots of little changes that need to be seen straight away, such as CSS tweaks. The good news is that the caching can be disabled per site on request, and getting in touch with One.com live chat had things sorted out quickly for me.
