The banner will not appear until the cache is cleared

The cache has to be cleared before the banner starts showing up. Clearing the cache will make the site very slow for many hours, so do not clear the cache often. If it is not urgent try and just wait a few hours (up to 1 day) and the banner will appear on its own.
