While attempting to test when a video file is loaded on a webpage, I ran into issues when trying to remove it from Chrome's browser cache.
I couldn't get the file to reappear in the network panel of dev tools when either hard reloading, clearing the browser's cache or by keeping disable cache checked in Chrome's dev tools.
The only way I could get the files to reload was to either start a new private browsing tab or wait a few minutes, when the files would then be reloaded.
Seems to happen on the following page as well as my own:
http://www.quirksmode.org/html5/tests/video.html
This also appeared to happen on a number of other browsers as well as Chrome.
So do Chrome and other browsers cache video files differently to other files (possibly to save bandwidth), and is there an easier way to force video files to reload while testing other than starting a new private browsing tab for each page refresh?
Since the last week I'm running into a weird issue related to Chrome version 54.0.2840.71 on OSX. Somehow after updating the CSS the new styles are not loading after refreshing the page.
Styles are not loaded either after a hard refresh (CMD+Shift+R) of when browsing in incognito modus.
This doesn't happen in Firefox or Safari. Anyone else having the same issue or know how to fix this?
This may help. Open dev tools in browser then right click on refresh button of chrome. A menu will open. Select empty cache and hard reload.
If this is also not working then quit browser and try after relaunching.
Also look at chrome://appcache-internals/ for your page if there are some caches just delete those caches related to your page.
I am having this problem for long time. Whenever I update my existing stylesheet it not take effect in browser instantly. If I view page source and click on my stylesheet, ex:<link rel="stylesheet" href="assets/stylesheets/theme-custom.css"> recently added codes are not shown. It updates after few hours. This happens both in Firefox & Chrome.
Why this happening? And how can I get rid of it?
Due to performance reasons browser cache loaded css files. So if you update your css you have to clear your cache. You can also reload the page with clearing it by pressing CTRL + R.
At the following linked page you can find approaches how to deliver your css and force browsers to get the current version (like adding timestamps or anything else as parameter):

EDIT:
You can also just disable the caching completely in the settings or developer tools of your browser.
When I upload a new image to my site it seems to not show me the updated image without first clearing my browser cache.
I'm pretty sure this isn't normal behaviour but I have no idea how to fix it, and it's causing me to pull my hair out.
I think image caching is a normal browser behavior. It makes sense: images are large, and don't change very often. If you need to refresh an image because you are developing the website, but you expect the image to be unchanging in the future, I recommend disabling caching in your browser, temporarily, while you develop the website.
To disable cache temporarily for development purposes in Chrome:
wrench/tools/developer tools/gear icon (bottom right)/check "Disable cache"
If you need the image to change constantly for the production version of the website, you can configure your server to tell browsers not to cache the page.
I've been writing a webpage in vi and suddenly any changes I make are not updating when I go to the webpage in firefox. the page still loads, but not with my edits. very confused..
As a summary of the above comments:
This has nothing to do with vi. Options to refresh your browser and clear the cache are:
Ctrl+F5 to fully refresh your page
Ctrl+Shift+Del to delete the cache
Manually clear the cache in the browser settings
