How to clear cache in Joomla 2.5
Written by Brad MarkleJoomla 2.5 includes caching options, which when used can help speed up your site and reduce the load on your Joomla 2.5 hosting account. You can configure the cache to clear on its own after a set number of minutes, but sometimes you may need to clear the cache before that time limit is reached.
To clear cache in Joomla 2.5:
- Log into your Joomla Administrator dashboard
- In the top menu, hover over Site >> Maintenance, and then click Clear Cache
- Put a check in the top left box. This will select all groups that have cache that can be cleared. Then, click the Delete icon in the top right menu.

You have now cleared the cache in Joomla 2.5!
