When I upload a new image to my site it seems to not show me the updated image without first clearing my browser cache.
I’m pretty sure this isn’t normal behaviour but I have no idea how to fix it, and it’s causing me to pull my hair out.

I think image caching is a normal browser behavior. It makes sense: images are large, and don’t change very often. If you need to refresh an image because you are developing the website, but you expect the image to be unchanging in the future, I recommend disabling caching in your browser, temporarily, while you develop the website.
To disable cache temporarily for development purposes in Chrome:
wrench/tools/developer tools/gear icon (bottom right)/check "Disable cache"If you need the image to change constantly for the production version of the website, you can configure your server to tell browsers not to cache the page.
