How to Refresh Your Browser's Cache (Hard Reload) in Common Web Browsers

How to Hard Refresh Your Browser

A hard refresh forces your browser to load the latest version of a webpage instead of using files stored in its cache. This is one of the quickest ways to resolve issues such as outdated content, missing website changes, or pages that are not displaying correctly after an update.

If you recently made changes to your website but do not see them, performing a hard refresh is often the first troubleshooting step.

Desktop Browsers

Google Chrome

  • Windows/Linux: Ctrl + F5
  • Mac: Cmd + Shift + R

Microsoft Edge

  • Windows: Ctrl + F5
  • Mac: Cmd + Shift + R

Mozilla Firefox

  • Windows/Linux: Ctrl + F5
  • Mac: Cmd + Shift + R

Safari

  • Mac: Cmd + Option + R

Opera

  • Windows/Linux: Ctrl + F5
  • Mac: Cmd + Shift + R

Mobile Browsers

Mobile browsers do not have a universal keyboard shortcut for performing a hard refresh. If you are still seeing an older version of a webpage after refreshing, try one of the following:

  • Open the page in a Private or Incognito tab.
  • Close and reopen your browser.
  • If the issue persists, clear your browser's cache from your browser settings and reload the page.

What a Hard Refresh Does

  • Loads the latest version of a webpage from the server.
  • Bypasses cached files that may be outdated.
  • Helps resolve display issues after website updates.
  • Does not delete your browsing history, bookmarks, or saved passwords.

Still Not Seeing Your Changes?

If you have performed a hard refresh and still do not see the latest changes:

  • Verify that the changes have been published.
  • Try viewing the page in a Private or Incognito window.
  • Test the page in a different browser or on another device.
  • If the issue continues, contact Spillover Support for assistance.
