In the case of significant changes on a website, cached results can be purged. Full cache purging available once per 2 hours.
While full cache purging is limited by time-frame. The individually cached page can be purged anytime without limits. To purge single page from cache "Cache ID" has to be obtained in response headers as X-Prerender-Id
.

The reason why you may not found x-prerender-id
header in DevTools is aggressive caching or usage of AppCache, to avoid this issue please follow next steps (in Chrome, Opera, Brave, and other Chromium-based browser):
- Open new Private window
- Open URL with appended
?_escaped_fragment_=
- Open "Developer Tools"
- In "Developer Tools" go to "Network" tab
- Check "Disable Cache" checkbox
- Reload/Refresh page
- In "Network" tab select
/?_escaped_fragment_=
document (should be the first) - In opened area make sure "Header" tab is selected
- In "Response Headers" section find
x-prerender-id
header
While cache is purged from Prerendering engine it may remain cached from few minutes to several days, it depends from selected "Cache TTL" and rendering endpoint.
