“Hard Refresh”

Sometimes simply refreshing a website isn’t enough to clear the cache stored in your browser. When this happens we will first request the viewer to perform a hard refresh. If that doesn’t work, the DEV team can proceed to clear the server’s cache via other methods.

Shortcuts for “hard refresh” vary by browser and are as follows:

  • Chrome
    Mac: Cmd + Shift + R
    Windows: Ctrl + F5
  • Safari
    Mac: Option + Cmd + E
    Windows: Ctrl + F5
  • Firefox
    Mac: Cmd + Shift + R
    Windows: Ctrl + F5
  • Edge (Windows): Ctrl + F5
