BROWSERDIFFICULTY: EASY
Browser Cache Bypass: Hard Reload Shortcut
When code changes don't show up on web pages, simple F5 reload doesn't work due to aggressive service worker & asset caching.
STEP-BY-STEP EXECUTION
01
Open Chrome / Edge / Brave DevTools by pressing `F12` or `Ctrl + Shift + I`.
02
Right click the regular Reload button in the top left browser toolbar.
03
Select 'Empty Cache and Hard Reload' to force the browser to dump all stale cached CSS and JS bundles.
THE BIG TAKEAWAY
Saves 20 minutes of scratching your head wondering why CSS changes didn't update.
