At a glance

The community member launched their first actor, but after changing the URL, they found that the old URL was still being used, causing a redirect to the Apify homepage. The community members suggest that this could be due to caching, and recommend using dummy URL parameters to bypass potential caching issues. There is no explicitly marked answer, but the community members provide suggestions to help resolve the issue.

I just launched my first actor. However, I thought its URL was not appropriate, so I changed it. After that, I went to my profile page, clicked on the actor, and it still pointed to the old URL. As a result, it couldn't find my actor and redirected me to Apify's homepage. So how can I fix this? The actor URL cannot be changed after it is made public?
This is my profile: https://apify.com/ecomscrape, my actor still remains the old url: https://apify.com/ecomscrape/lazada-product-crawler
And my new actor url: https://apify.com/ecomscrape/lazada-product-scraper

Hi! I've just checked this and the URL on your profile is new and correctly points to the actor page. Maybe there was some delay there?

Yep, I think so. Maybe the Apify store page is using cache?

To make sure, just use some dummy url params to bypass potential caching..

Changed the actor's URL, but the URL on the profile page remains unchanged.
