    I’m not sure why but every time I purge the cache and visit my browser in a private window, the content is always unstyled since the CSS files return 404.

    I don’t know how you generate the CSS URL but I suggest you avoid generating a new URL if the optimized CSS does not change.

    For example, consider using an md5 of the file contents as the generated CSS file’s name.

    it is using md5 to generate file name

    it must be something else in play

    please provide the report number , you can get it in toolbox -> report -> click “send to LiteSpeed”

    Thanks. The report number is HOUVPOEW

    I’ve had to disable cache but some pages are still cached. Note that this doesn’t affect all browsers/devices.

    For example,

    When I visit the following URL on Chrome Android it works fine but shows stale cache when I visit it on Chrome Desktop.

    https://noptin.com/guide/subscription-forms/

    I get the following headers on Chrome Desktop:-

    X-Litespeed-Cache: hit

    you have enabled CF cache , it is incompatible with JS/CSS minify/combine , Guest Mode , webp replacement and mobile cache

    please either disable CF cache or disable these options

    I am not sure , how did you enable it in the first place ?

    please in CF dashboard -> page rules , remove any rule that contains feature “cache everything” and purge CF cache.
