Hi I'm kinda stuck on idea's to try to solve my problem since I don't have much experience concerning caches.
I'm currently working on this site of a business partner of me.
I got his host, username and password so I'm litterary working as him using Filezilla.
I downloaded the entire site content from filezilla into a desktopfolder.
I made a copy of it to work in and from there I made some changes in the .html and .css files.
In offline mode, everythings works perfectly as I want it.
Then I deleted the the sitecontent in Filezilla and replaced it with my changes.
Now the weird parts happen.
When I open the site online without www. prefix it works great
when I open the site online with www. prefix I can't see the images that are
placed within div's that purely concern the image
When a pc opened the site in the first 3 houres it was online, the div's don't
work
Also later on that specific pc can't make the div's to work
Pc's that opened the site only after these 3 houres have no problem at all
I've tried replacing the stylesheet and wait a couple hours, but caches seem to be made. and the result stays the same.
However this is no problem for the avarage customer since for them the site works, you can see what a hell this may be for me as developer and the owner, who offcourse opened the site right after I put it online.
Any suggestions might be usefull.
In most of the browsers you can use F12 shortcut to see the developer tools. In Network tab you can see all files that are currently being loaded. You can see there if the file is being loaded from the server or from the local machine.
By pressing CTRL+F5 (in Chrome and think in Firefox too) you are forcing cache to refresh.
If the PC is still loading in a cached version of the site, you can refresh the page and delete the cache by holding Control + F5.
Seems like I found the source of the problem.
I was using the css from a bought template which has some coding that malfunctions when ftp-uploading using ASCII
Uploading Binary solves the problem
The reason the did work on some computers was that they had the old css still cached. which was earlyer uploaded in binary instead of the same css files i uploaded in ASCII.
I've been developing a website locally and have uploaded the website a couple of times to my server on Siteground for testing. With this newest upload I cannot for the life of me get chrome to stop using my old css file.
I have completely cleared the cache many, many times. I have removed the CSS files from my server completely and done the same, so the site should be rendering free of any and all CSS. I have double-checked via cPanel file management to make sure there are no CSS files.
It renders as it should (with no CSS) in every other browser but still not in Chrome! I imagine this is a very simple problem with a simple answer and I am just not seeing it.
Here's the website.
What it looks like in Chrome:
What it looks like in every other browser:
Try CTRL + SHIFT + R instead (shortcut key for Hard Reload in Chrome).
You can also try add ?ver=anynumber at the end of your linked css to force browsers to reload it:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="assets/css/styles.css?ver=100">
If you're using Windows then try Ctrl+F5 or Shift+F5 keys.
On Mac OS X try holding both the ⌘ Cmd and ⇧ Shift keys and press the R key.
When you click Ctrl-Shift-Del in Chrome it opens the "Clear browsing data" -page. You can and should check the check-box "Browsing history".
However note that above that you have the setting for "Time Range". Choose "All time". That seems to NOT be the default.
If you don't choose "All time" then perhaps counter-intuitively older resources stay in the cache whereas only ones cached during last hour or so may be removed.
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.
I have come across a strange issue with my company's site, and it seems to only affect my computer. Changes that I have made to the raw HTML are not reflected in my browser (Firefox).
I have taken the following steps to resolving this issue, without any luck:
Ensured that the page was uploaded successfully to the correct directory (downloading the file from the server shows that it is the same file as the one just uploaded).
Cleared my browser history and cache, refreshed the page.
Opened the page in other browsers (IE, and Chrome).
RDP'd into our server and opened multiple browsers that way.
A colleague of mine sits directly across from me and he has opened the page in the same version of Firefox that I typically use and he can see the changes. He and I both work on the site regularly.
The strangest part is that I have made changes to this page before, and they showed on my screen instantly. These changes are still in place and visible, yet some HTML elements that existed before I made those changes do not show on my screen currently (despite still existing in the HTML).
Has anyone else ever experienced such a phenomenon? Is there anything else that I can try in order to resolve this issue?
Have you tried forcing cache refresh? Try it by clicking Ctrl + F5
So i have been running into this problem with a lot of Wordpress sites lately, usually occurring when i am logged in as Admin, so i couldn't post here because no one would be able to view the problem. However, i just found a site that it happens on that doesn't require admin creds.

When i visit this site in Chrome (Version 34.0.1847.137 m), it just displays a blank page. No errors, just the (what now seems standard) event.returnValue is deprecated. Please use the standard event.preventDefault() instead. warning. I have seen that warning signify problems on the site, but they are usually minor, not to the extent that the above URL displays. However, if i open an Incognito window and visit the site everything works perfectly and there is no warning. Does the Incognito window deal with webpages in a way that is so entirely different that it would cause something like this to happen?
I have been racking my brain trying to figure this out. Can anyone reproduce this? is it a bug in chrome?
EDIT: I just tried to open a bounty on this question and the EXACT same thing happened. In Regular Chrome, nothing happened when i clicked the start a bounty link and i saw various errors Undefined is not a function however in incognito everything worked perfectly. what gives?!
EDIT: Yes, i have cleared the cache, history, cookies, everything, and i still get the same errors. I cant even post a comment on this question because of errors...
I came across the same issue when trying to open evernote.com. It loaded successfully while using incognito mode in chrome. Let me share how I fixed this even though the original post is way too old. But maybe someone can find it useful.
I'm using chrome (Version 73.0.3683.103 (Official Build) (64-bit)) running on Linux Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS.
I tried disabling all extensions and clearing browser data/cache but nothing worked. PS: Disabling adblock previously worked for me. Yes, I stumbled over the same issue before and whitelisting evernote in adblock solved the issue. But it didn't now.
The following is what worked for me:
Open developers tools (CTRL + SHIFT + J).
Navigate to Applications tab.
Choose Clear storage from the side menu
Hit Clear site data button.
After reading the comments I dug into chrome and saw there was a bunch of extensions still sitting around that were definitely malware and I thought I had previously deleted. Instead of picking through them one-by-one, I just deleted everything, re-installed Chrome, and now everything works great!
I had the same issue. My application was working in Incognito mode and in Firefox but not in Regular Chrome. I even disabled all the extensions but no luck. I eventually cleared the Cached images and files because on developer console I found out that the regular chrome was still picking up the old file due to caching. So as soon as I cleared it, my app showed up like a rocket :)
Try removing any non required extension .
Specifically AdBlock
I resolved the problem post that.
Since on Incognito , extensions are disabled, hence page run as expected.
I resolved this unforeseen issue using following steps.
CTRL + SHIFT + DEL > Clear Browsing Data.
Cookies and other site data
Cached images and files
This is for Chrome Browser.
Open Console (Ctl+Shift+I) first.
Then under the application tab, you will find some options on the left, find out the application there, you will find it at the top.
There you will find Service Workers.
Under Service Workers, there will be three checkboxes. Select Update on reload checkbox and reload again.
I had the same issue after installing React-Sight Extention.
The Page hanged but not in the incognito mode.
Try deleting any recently added or junk extension.
Delete your cache.
That worked for me
I had a similar issue in chrome, in my case the problem was that I could log in to my university library's website only in incognito mode. After some digging, I figured out that Google Translate extension was set to automatically translate any page. When I turned that off and instead selected never translate that specific page, it started working in the usual mode as well.
This is rather an old issue but still happens. None of the solutions recommended here and there did not solve the issue in my case.
I somehow noticed this is related with a -some kind of- corruption on the user profile.
This is how I solved it:
Close all Chrome browsers.
Open a Google page on Chrome.
Sign-out from Google (rigt click your profile picture on a Google page, not on the Chrome itself), and sign-in.
If this doesn't work:
Close all Chrome browsers.
Right click Chrome icon and select Google Chrome.
Delete your Google profile on the "select your profile" page.
Close Chrome.
Open Chrome, sign-in.
uBlock Origin was the culprit in my case. Once I allowed the site in uBlock Origin, pages loaded correctly in normal Chrome.
