Enter the domain name under “Delete domain” and press the Delete button</li> </ul> <p>The easiest thing to do during <strong>testing</strong> is use <strong>incognito mode</strong>. You will not need to clear the cache every time you change config or re-issue certificates.</p> https://sigtar.com/2014/02/08/nginx-setup-as-reverse-proxy/ Sat, 08 Feb 2014 00:00:00 +1300 https://sigtar.com/2014/02/08/nginx-setup-as-reverse-proxy/ <p>Previously to take down this wordpress site all you needed to do was hold down F5 for about 20 seconds then the site would take about 5 mins to recover.</p> <p>There were a few factors causing this and quite a few different methods to solving the problem.
