# Caches & Indexes

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

{% endhint %}

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

1. Open your Shope 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)

#### Clear Caches (1)

This allows you to empty the Caches without them being warmed up again immediately afterwards.

#### Clearing and warming up caches (2)

At first, a new Cache will be created. As soon as this exists, the old Cache will be removed.

#### Updating Indizes (3)

Updates the Indexes such as the category and product indexes as well as the SEO URLs. Using the **dropdown menu** you can choose all Indizes that should not be updated when updating the Indizes.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://knowledge.themeware.design/knowledge-base/shopware/configuration/settings/caches-and-indizes.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
