Cache Invalidation | Encited Docs

Purge cached prerendered pages for domains you own. Optionally prewarm to immediately re-render.

To force a fresh render and get the rendered HTML back in a single request, pass cache_invalidate=1 to the Render API. The endpoints below invalidate (and optionally prewarm) out-of-band and return status, not HTML.

Invalidate Updated Paths
