There are two levels of caching. One is browser caching, and the other is caching at the DNS/CDN level. The latter is handled by Cloudflare, and it reduces the server load quite a lot, which keeps this site quicker and more stable. I am able to control caching through page rules, but my free Cloudflare account gives me only three page rules. I have two rules right now. One disables caching for pages with a .php extension, and the other enables caching for the drawdiagram.php script, which is used for graphics. I can purge the cache for individual pages as needed, but I need to be asked to do that for a particular page. Complaining about caching in general will not help.
