Nothing drove more crazy when I began webbing than finishing an upload, checking the page online, and seeing that nothing changed. Of course, the changed site was uploaded-but do to problems with the damn cache-everything appeared the same to me.

It took me a long time to understand this problem, and I still don’t.

Some great advice: Learn how to a hard refresh:

Control + F5+ Return

I wish I knew about this ten years ago, maybe even 15!

For the life of me, I cannot understand why I cannot see the updated page correctly on say Google Chrome, as I predominantly view pages in Safari and Firefox. Don’t all these browsers use different caches???

Please tell all your friends about “hard refresh!”

Wishing the whole worldwide RW community a “refreshing” New Year!
