Why do I still see an article's old URL after regenerating its URL in Composer?
Question
Why does the old URL still appear after regenerating a URL in Composer?
Answer
The cache duration for articles is governed by a Time-to-Live (TTL) setting, which is 15 minutes, since these are templates. This means that articles will remain cached until the TTL expires, typically up to 15 minutes. After this time, the cache will automatically refresh with the updated content and will redirect to the regenerated URL.
If there is a need to redirect an old URL or make updates reflect faster than the 15-minute TTL, there are two options to clear the cache manually:
Republishing the Story in Composer: By republishing the story in Composer, the cache will be cleared, and any changes or redirections will take effect within 2 minutes.. This process also regenerates the associated cache for the updated content.
Using the Delivery Cache Clear UI: Access the Delivery Cache Clear UI and input the old article URL. This action will manually clear the cache for the specified URL, ensuring that updates or redirections are processed faster than the standard TTL duration.
