Hi everyone,

I’m struggling with a persistent caching/rendering issue on a WordPress/Elementor site and could really use some expert eyes.

The Problem: Whenever I make changes in Elementor (even simple things like updating a button link or adding a text widget), they do not appear for guests/non-logged-in users on the first visit. The site shows an outdated version. Only after a manual second reload (F5) does the browser render the current state.

• Logged-in as Admin: Everything works perfectly, changes are visible instantly.
• Guests/Incognito: Always see the "stale" version first.

What I’ve tried so far:

1. Plugins: Cleared all CSS/JS and cache data in WP Fastest Cache (and even deactivated it completely).
2. Elementor Tools: Regenerated CSS & Data and synced the library.
3. Server-Side: Cleared the Varnish cache via the hosting control panel. Even tried disabling Varnish for the subdomain.
4. Memory: PHP Memory Limit is already at 512MB.
5. Environment: The issue persists across different devices and networks (mobile data vs. WiFi), so it’s not a local browser cache issue.

Has anyone dealt with this specific "second reload" bug before? Any ideas on how to force the server to serve the fresh version to guests immediately?

Thanks in advance!
