I'm using VPS CentOS + Apache + Wordpress. Not using any Cache plugin but htaccess instead. All work good except my home page wont refresh if I write new post. Only new visitors can see new posts.
This is htaccess I currently use. Please take a look and give me advice. Let's say to refresh homepage every 1 hour?
