# ICacheRefresher *This section describes what ICacheRefresher and ICacheRefresher\ are and how to use them to invalidate your cache correctly including load balanced environments* ## What is an ICacheRefresher This interface has been in the Umbraco core for a significant period. However, it has really only been used to ensure that content cache is refreshed among all server nodes participating in a load balanced scenario. An `ICacheRefresher` is the primary method that invalidates *any* cache needing refreshment or removal. This applies regardless of a load balanced environment. There are now a few different types of `ICacheRefreshers` in the Umbraco core. It is important to understand the differences between them and how cache invalidation works across multiple server nodes. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
