In my professional work, I have often encountered difficulties relating to the lack of visibility of changes on pages that have been modified. Although the solution to this problem may seem complicated, it is very simple regardless of the platform we use. Here is a brief explanation of the methods to solve this problem on different browsers.
This situation is due to the fact that these browsers have a cached version. To resolve this issue, a ‘hard refresh’ of the browser must be performed, allowing the cache to be cleared and new content to be downloaded. The process is straightforward and instructions vary depending on the browser and operating system used.
Chrome i Windows/Linux:
Hold down Ctrl and click the Reload button.
Or hold down Ctrl and press F5.
Chrome i Mac:
Hold down Shift and click the Reload button.
Or Hold Command, Shift and click the ‘R’ key.
