Is your domain on Cloudflare?

If so, put it in development mode and/or turn off proxying in the DNS section for the A/CNAME records you're accessing.

To disable server-side caching on a Windows 2016 server running IIS 10 and PHP 8.1.6, you can follow these steps:

1) Disable Output Caching in IIS: It seems you might have both client-side and server-side output caching enabled1. You can disable server-side output caching by removing the output caching rule from your IIS configuration1.

2) Configure Client Cache in IIS: You can set the <clientCache> section in the <staticContent> section of your IIS configuration as follows1:

code:

<staticContent>
    <clientCache cacheControlMode="UseMaxAge" cacheControlMaxAge="1.00:00:00" />
</staticContent>

3) Disable Caching in PHP: In your php.ini file, you can disable caching by setting or modifying certain values. However, the specific settings can vary depending on the caching method used (like opcache, APC, etc.). For example, to disable OPCache, you can set opcache.enable=0.

Remember to restart your IIS server for the changes to take effect.
