<h1>Static caching</h1>
<p>If a page has <strong>no</strong> sidecar, its rendered HTML is written to <code>public/cache/&lt;path&gt;/index.html</code> after the first request. <code>.htaccess</code> checks for that file before PHP ever runs, so repeat visits are served straight by Apache with zero PHP/Twig overhead. Pages with a sidecar are never cached this way, since their output can vary per request.</p>
<p>To force a single page to re-render, delete its file under <code>public/cache/</code>. To clear everything at once, there are two equivalent options:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>CLI:</strong> <code>php novaconium/bin/clear-cache.php</code> — a standalone script for deploys, cron jobs, or anywhere you'd rather not go through a browser. Prints <code>Cache cleared.</code> and exits.</li>
<li><strong>Web:</strong> <a href="/admin/clear-cache">/admin/clear-cache</a> — a POST form under <code>/admin</code>, covered by the same <a href="/admin/docs/admin-auth">HTTP Basic Auth gate</a> as the rest of <code>/admin/*</code> once a password is set.</li>
</ul>
<p>Both end up calling the same underlying <code>Cache::clear()</code> — see <code>/admin/docs/config</code>'s "For developers: using <code>Cache.php</code> directly" section for how each entry point constructs it. Clearing the cache only deletes the generated static HTML; it doesn't affect <code>App/pages/</code> or any other source. Any project change that should show up on an already-cached page — a new <code>site_name</code>, a new Sass color, a new admin toggle — needs a cache clear before it's visible, since the old <code>index.html</code> would otherwise keep being served as-is.</p>
