 * Hi,
 * When I clear (rebuild) the cache, (recent) users still have the old files cached
   and need to do CTRL+F5 to get the new files.
 * Is there a solution for this problem?
 * Regards,
 * Bjorn

 * This is browser caching. Are you using another optimization plugin? Can you check
   your htaccess whether another browser caching rule exists or not plesae?

 * Sorry, I just noticed the JS files aren’t combined by WPFC.
 * I suspect all is good now.
 * One question.
 * When I clear the cache does WPFC create new filenames, so it forces browsers 
   to download the new files?

 * Free version does not combine the js files which exist in the body.

 * yes, but if you add a browser cache for html file, you need to do CTRL+F5

 * Hi Emre,
 * it seems to me this problem is not related to browser caching, rather server 
   side FCGI cache on NGINX.
 * When FCGI cache is ON, when you delete the WPFC cache visitors still see the 
   old version for some minutes. I switched off browser caching and the problem 
   has not solved.
 * I have noticed this since last update of WPFC plugin on my site & seems to affect
   other sites as well. When you delete minified css as well, the site loads w/o
   css for some minutes.
 * Swtching of FCGI cache on cPanel -> everything works fine again.
 * Bjorn, can you check & confirm you have the same issue?
 * Greetings,
    Adam from Hungary

 * ow, I did not know it. you should not use a server-side caching system.
