To provide lightning-fast page loading and optimal Core Web Vitals, ReviewX caches complex review metrics — including star rating distribution graphs, multi-criteria breakdown bars, total review counts, and JSON-LD schema markup. The Cache Management tool allows administrators to inspect and purge cached data instantly.
What ReviewX Caches #
- Review Aggregations: Total review counts and average rating scores for every WooCommerce product and custom post type.
- Criteria Graphs: Multi-criteria breakdown percentages and scores.
- Schema Rich Snippets: AggregateRating JSON-LD schema generated for Google search result rich stars.
- Storefront API Payloads: Pre-rendered review widget data served via REST API.
When Should You Clear Cache? #
ReviewX automatically invalidates cache whenever new reviews are submitted, approved, or deleted. However, you should manually clear the cache if:
- You completed a CSV bulk import of reviews and want ratings updated on product pages immediately.
- You adjusted criteria weights or renamed multi-criteria review options.
- You modified product titles, categories, or URLs and notice schema discrepancies in Google Search Console.
- You purged duplicate reviews and want counters refreshed store-wide.
How to Clear ReviewX Cache #
- In your WordPress admin menu, navigate to ReviewX → Tools.
- Click the Cache Management tab.
- Review the cached items counter [1] showing total cached review keys.
- Click the red Clear Cache button [2].
- ReviewX will instantly purge all stored transients and rebuild fresh rating data upon the next product page visit.
