Caches & Indexes

Clear and warm up caches and indexes in Shopware 6 - when it makes sense and how to do it.

When making changes in the store (especially when they affect the storefront), it is quite useful to clear the Shopware cache once.

In the module Caches & Indexes you have the possibility to clear and warm up the cache.

1. Open your shop administration

2. Navigate to the section "Settings" => "System" => "Caches & Indexes".

3. Click onto the button "Clear caches" (1) or onto the button "Clear and warm up caches" (2)
