My Changes Are Not Showing Up

Friday, December 07, 2007

Sometimes when you make changes on your web page, you do not see those changes because of your temporary Internet cache settings.  Basically, when you go to a website, images and files are cached locally to help speed up the loading of that page.  Even sometimes a refresh might not show your changes.

Clear Your Temporary Internet Cache

You can clear your temporary Internet cache by going to Tools - Internet Options on Microsoft Internet Explorer.  In the General tab, you should see Browsing history.  Choose the Delete Files button.  This will bring up another dialog box.  Under the Temporary Internet Files, choose the Delete Files button to clear your temporary Internet cache.  Make sure you are on on your website when you do this.  Now choose Close and hit OK.

Another way to do this is while you are on your web page is choose CNTL-F5 to do a "hard refresh" of the page.
