Question

hi i have a little problem

i uploaded a new version of my website.
and some users complained that they see some page i changed very very wrong.

anyway after a refresh they see it fine.

i think its because my css file got cached by them on an earlier time…
why isnt the browser downloading the css file by himself on first load?..

he should know the css file changed dosnt he?

thanks in advance

Answer 1

@UpTheCreek’s method will work fine. But you can save some trouble by just changing the call and not changing the filename.

screen.css?v=12

This will also force a reload but will only require you to change the call.
