Why WordPress Users Clear Caches and Squarespace Users Have Never Heard of It

If you've ever managed a WordPress or Drupal website, you've lived this moment. You make a change, hit publish, reload the page — and nothing looks different. You clear your browser cache. Still the old version. You purge the caching plugin. Finally, twenty minutes later, the change appears. Meanwhile, your friend who built their site on Squarespace made a change this morning and it was live instantly. They have never once thought about caching in their lives. This is not a coincidence — and understanding why it happens is one of the most useful things you can know before choosing a platform.
