Webpage won't load correctly

Hello everyone,

For some reason, now my webpage won't show the changes whenever I refresh it after modifying some code. It worked before, it doesn't work anymore now. Now every time I want to see what the code is doing on my website, I have to open the index.html each time. Before, I just click refresh and it worked out.

Can anyone help?

The problem might lie with your cache. Try Ctrl + F5 when you want to refresh and see if it works.

Hope this helps!

Hi Christian - Are you using the localhost as your server? You may want to try clearing your browser history and cache. That usually does the trick for me.

Hi Jennifer,

Sorry I don't understand what it means by using the localhost. I just open the file right from my folder.

I had a very similar issue a while ago with mamp locally the cache refresh was set to something like 60 seconds so any updates I made would not show up it was very frustrating at the time.

Could you confirm your setup maybe we can help you further for example are you working locally, what browsers are you using and so on !!!

I am working with local from my computer. Basically I saved my index.html in a folder on my desktop.
