The types of caches may vary depending on what extensions/FPCs or even Varnish modules you have enabled.

In the above case, we see this site is using the standard Magento caches alongside Varnish through the Turpentine module. Caches that are invalidated with show up as Invalidated in a red bubble under the **Status **column.

Invalidated is not necessarily bad, it just means the caches are out of date and could be serving older content.
