What is Hard Refresh?

A hard refresh clears your browser's cache for a specific page, ensuring you see the most recent version.

Performing a hard refresh guarantees you always see the most up-to-date content on your webpage.

NOTE: Just clicking the "Refresh" arrow on your browser’s address bar isn't a hard refresh.

Here’s how to perform a hard refresh on different browsers:

Google Chrome:

  • Windows Users: Hold down Ctrl and then press F5.

  • Mac Users: Hold down Cmd and Shift, then press R.

Firefox:

  • Windows Users: Hold down Ctrl and then press F5.

  • Mac Users: Hold down Cmd and Shift, then press R.

Safari (Mac):

  • Go to Safari > Empty Cache, or press Opt + Cmd + E.

  • To refresh, click the refresh button on the address bar or press Cmd + R.

Internet Explorer/Microsoft Edge (Windows):

  • Hold down Ctrl and then press F5.
