Cache Management
ATStatus uses caching to improve performance and reduce database load.
What is Cached?
ATStatus caches frequently-accessed data like component statuses, status page settings, and public page content. This makes your status page load faster for visitors.
Accessing Cache Settings
1
Log in to Admin Panel
Access your admin dashboard
2
Navigate to Cache
Find Cache in the sidebar
3
View Statistics
See cache stats and controls
Cache Statistics
Cache Size
Total size of cached data
Cache Entries

Clearing the Cache
Clear All Cache
1
Go to Cache
Navigate to Cache in admin panel
2
Click Clear All Cache
Click the button to clear
3

Temporary Performance Impact
After clearing the cache, the first few page loads will be slower as the cache rebuilds. This is normal and performance will return to normal quickly.
Clear Specific Cache
Page Cache
Clears rendered page content
Data Cache
Clears database query results
API Cache
Clears API response cache
When to Clear Cache
- Changes don't appear on the public status page
- You've made significant configuration changes
- You're troubleshooting display issues
- After restoring from a backup
Automatic Cache Invalidation
In most cases, ATStatus automatically invalidates relevant cache entries when you make changes through the admin panel. Manual cache clearing is rarely needed for day-to-day operations.
Cache Configuration
| Variable | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
CACHE_TTL | 300 | Cache time-to-live in seconds |
CACHE_ENABLED | true | Enable or disable caching |
Best Practices
- Don't clear cache unnecessarily - it helps performance
- Use specific cache clears over 'Clear All' when possible
- Monitor cache hit rates regularly
- Keep default TTL unless you have specific needs
