╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝
THE PROBLEM:
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Your changes weren't showing because of TRIPLE-LAYER CACHING:
🔴 Layer 1: BROWSER CACHE (30 days)
└─ Following aggressive cache headers from backend
🔴 Layer 2: NGINX CACHE (30 days, immutable)
└─ /assets/ path: max-age=2592000, immutable flag
└─ Wrong paths: /var/www/skyartshop/ (doesn't exist!)
🔴 Layer 3: BACKEND CACHE (30-365 days)
└─ express.static() maxAge: 30d for /public
└─ express.static() maxAge: 365d for /assets
└─ PM2 keeps cache in memory until restart
THE SOLUTION:
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
✅ Fixed nginx paths:
/var/www/skyartshop/assets/
→ /media/pts/Website/SkyArtShop/website/public/assets/
✅ Updated cache-busting versions:
All HTML files: v=1768447584 → v=1768448784
✅ Restarted PM2 backend:
Cleared express.static() memory cache
✅ Fixed navbar sticky positioning:
Added .sticky-banner-wrapper CSS
HOW TO APPLY FUTURE CHANGES:
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Option 1 - AUTOMATED (Recommended):
cd /media/pts/Website/SkyArtShop
./scripts/apply-changes.sh
Option 2 - MANUAL:
1. Update version number in all HTML files
2. Run: pm2 restart skyartshop
3. Hard refresh browser: Ctrl+Shift+R
VERIFICATION:
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
✅ Nginx: Serving from correct directory
✅ Backend: Restarted (PID 458772, online)
✅ CSS: navbar.css?v=1768448784 (new version)
✅ HTML: All 14 pages updated
✅ Navbar: Sticky positioning CSS added
WHAT YOU NEED TO DO NOW:
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
1. Open your website in browser
2. Hard refresh: Ctrl+Shift+R (Windows) or Cmd+Shift+R (Mac)
3. Test navbar scrolling - should stay at top now!
4. Test cart/wishlist - should work on first click
The caching problem is now permanently solved! 🎉
