I Committed My Changes, but My Page Looks the Same

If you’ve checked the Actions tab and all of your workflows have run successfully–that is, the most recent run on your Actions tab has a green icon–your web browser has most likely cached a number of the files that it needs to properly display your website. Your computer tries to save bandwidth by showing a cached, or saved, version of every website you visit, and if you have a recently saved version still in memory, your changes might not show up. In other words, your changes are live for other people, but the browser on your local computer is showing you an old version.

Thankfully this is easily resolved by “hard” refreshing the page using one of the following key command depending on your operating system:

• Windows: CTRL + SHIFT + R
• MacOS: COMMAND + SHIFT + R

This will bypass your broswer’s cache and pull new data to load your website.
