When you face a delay in updated content visibility on a CloudFront-served website, invalidating the cache is a straightforward method to resolve the issue effectively. By specifically targeting and invalidating cached objects, CloudFront is prompted to fetch fresh data directly from the Amazon S3 origin. This ensures that all users will access the most recent version of the website without waiting for the normal expiration of the cached objects. This approach is quick and has minimal impact on the user experience.
