How do I hard refresh a page?

To perform a hard refresh (which clears the browser cache for a specific page and forces it to load the latest version), use the following keyboard shortcuts based on your device and browser:

Windows (Chrome, Firefox, Edge):

  • Hold down Ctrl and press F5.
  • Alternatively, hold Ctrl and click the Reload button.

Mac (Chrome, Firefox):

  • Hold Command (⌘) + Shift (⇧) and press R.
  • Alternatively, hold Shift and click the Reload button

Safari on Mac doesn't offer a hard refresh shortcode. Instead, press Command (⌘) + Option (⌥) + E to empty the cache, then reload the page.

hard refresh is different from a regular refresh: it clears cached files for that page, making sure new updates are visible.
