css - Stylesheet not updating when I refresh my site

Question

I am creating a website, but when I made changes to the stylesheet on my site, and I refreshed the site, none of the changes were there.

I tried to use the view source tool to check the stylesheet.css and it isn’t updated either. But when I go to the root of my system it is.

I have to wait at least 20 minutes before I see the update on my site, can anyone tell me why I don’t see changes right away? Is something wrong with my browser, computer, or server?

I also tried deleting my cookies, cache, and history but it still didn’t work.

Answer 1

If your site is not live yet, and you just want to update the stylesheet at your pleased intervals, then use this: Ctrl + F5.

On Mac OS (in Chrome) use: Cmd + Shift + R.

This will force your browser to reload and refresh all the resources related to the website's page.

So every time you change something in your stylesheet and you wanna view the new results, use this.
