Page Reload and Refreshing the Browser

Question

I am working on an HTML page using JavaScript CSS etc..

After saving various edits, then I go to the browser and do a refresh to see the changes.

Sometimes I do not see the changes reflected in the browser.

I am not sure if the page really refreshed / reloaded properly. I have tried various things to try to insure that the page is properly refreshed like

- location.reload(true); // this gets from server

- refresh the browser manually

- empty browser cache

... but am am just not sure it always works as expected.

Is there a best way to make sure the page is fully reloaded from the server?

Is there some browser setting to fully disable cache?

If you are using Chrome, this has a very sticky cache. The best way is to type the following into the address bar and follow the prompts.

chrome://settings/clearBrowserData

If it is not Chrome that you are using, it may be something in the code that is stopping the browser from freely interpreting it (the code).
