If your site is not displaying the recent content you uploaded to the server you may be looking at cached browser data. Your browser saves data from the websites you visit to help pull up those sites faster the next time you visit them. This is called caching. Please review the below steps in order to help troubleshoot the problem.

1. Make sure you're uploading to the correct directory.

If you're publishing changes, make sure your putting the updated pages in the correct data. Generally, for your primary site, your changes will be published to the public_html directory or a folder embedded within the public_html page.

If you're publishing to an addon domain, double check the root of that domain by logging into your cPanel and clicking on Addon Domains. Scroll down to the bottom of the page to view your Addon Domains and next to each domain, you will see the root file path specific to that addon.

2. Refresh the Page

The first thing to try is refreshing the page. This will often times force the browser to reload the page from the server thus displaying the current content. This is done by clicking the refresh icon Refresh Image, which can typically be found near the address bar in your browser.
