Why CSS changes are not showing in real time?

Question

Hello guys, I am using Donut theme with Blog tool plugin & I am trying to make my site look more colorful. So I am changing some CSS values but those changes are not shown as quickly as they are being updated, why? Any solution? Is it related to caching?

Answer 1

There are two reasons

1. As you said, cache issue. You sometimes need to clear cache
2. Maybe server cache/delayed your updates.

How to clear cache?

---

Browser cache you can remove from it's setting area. Google it, you will get tons of tutorials.

ohh ok you're talking abt browser cache i thought you were talking about the chaches that every site stores on its own server. Does q2a Also stores cache on server?

Answer 2

Reload your page two times, this clears the cache.

Or reload the page using the shortcut CTRL+SHIFT+R.

Or use an advanced theme and override the function that loads the .css file and add a "?v=1.2.3" to it, so the browser will load it as a new file.

You can also open the developer tools in Chrome (Ctrl+Shift+I), and there is a checkbox "Disable cache" in the settings.
