title: Web server cache files
body: <p>I have a problem with one of my websites. <a href="http://www.weddingguest-book.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.weddingguest-book.com</a></p>
  
  <p>I only found this out because of google webmaster tools but basically I was getting over 100 duplicate meta description errors in my account. However, these were fixed and updated a few months ago. But, whenever I view the page source of one of the pages that is reporting the error in google analytics it is an out of date page. I have uploaded all pages at least 10 times now but the server is still serving the older content. When I view a page (file) via FTP I can see the correct content but when I view in any browser (refreshed a number of times) I still see the old meta description in the source. I could understand it if this was something that happened yesterday but most of these pages are months old now. </p>
  
  <p>So, I have opened a ticket with my hosting provider who will probably take an age to come back to me and tell me to refresh my browser cache. In the meantime I was hoping someone would clarify where hostings servers do indeed using cache files and if so what is the 'norm' when it comes to refreshing these? As advised, many of my pages seem to be serving meta data that is months out of date. I wouldn't think it could be my ISP cache because as advised, these errors are being seen in google webmaster tools. </p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance for any advise. </p>
