Have you ever wondered what makes a web
browser like Google Chrome so fast? One of the main reasons is
because it doesn't always have to load 100% of a given web page's
information every time.
Whenever you visit a particular web
page, your web browser is designed to automatically store a lot of
that page's information on your computer's hard drive in a place
called the cache, or: your Temporary Internet Folder. It takes
a lot less time for your browser to summon the pieces locally, rather
than have to download everything over and over every time you hit
refresh.
This technology is pretty cool, as it
makes for insanely fast load times on the internet. However, it can
to lead to some unexpected, and very frustrating problems if you're
not aware of how it works.
When you build a custom website with
HDM, we're going to work side-by-side with you, every step of the
way, to make sure that your website becomes exactly what you want it
to. This means that along the way, we'll be making changes, and then
submitting them to you, to be reviewed on your live web browser,
seeing it as any other internet user would.
However, if your web browser is
summoning old files from your cache to load the web page, then a lot
of the changes made may not show up on your screen. And therein lies
the frustration. We find this is a fairly common miscommunication
that, although can boggle the mind, actually has a pretty simple
solution.
Therefore, whenever a change is made to
your HDM custom website, it's imperative that you perform a hard
refresh in order to view the changes. This means that your web
browser is going to completely clear out your cache, and load 100% of
the web page's information from the server, as it would if you had
never been there before. This will allow you a truly refreshed
perspective at your web page.
Whether you use Google Chrome, Mozilla
Firefox, or Microsoft Internet Explorer, press:
Ctrl+F5,
or
Ctrl+Refresh.
If you use a Mac press:Command+R
This
will override the cache and force your browser to download everything
again. If you're still experiencing problems or inconsistencies after
this, feel free to Contact Us anytime.
