What are Magento 2 Caches? Why should you flush Cache?

Magento 2 Caches, which store data for quicker future data calls, are responsible for improving the site’s speed. Cache types include the Configuration, Layout, DDL, Collections data, Block HTML output, Compiled Config, Page cache, Reflection, Entity attribute value, Translation, Customer Notification, Integration configuration, Integration API configuration, and Web services configuration.

Whenever you make any change to your store, it is essential that you refresh the caches to display those changes on the frontend. If there is a need to refresh the caches, there will be a notice in yellow stating that you have to go to the Cache Management page to do so. Now let’s take a look at the following screenshot:

protected $cacheTypeList;
protected $cacheFrontendPool;
 
public function __construct(
    TypeListInterface $cacheTypeList, 
    Pool $cacheFrontendPool
){
    
    $this->cacheTypeList = $cacheTypeList;
    $this->cacheFrontendPool = $cacheFrontendPool;
 
}
 
public function flushCache(Version $subject)
{
  $_types = [
            'config',
            'layout',
            'block_html',
            'collections',
            'reflection',
