We always face some or other technical issues when using a website or browsing the internet. It can happen to anyone. It could be a case that your browser is not responding or your posted content on Twitter or FB is not reflecting immediately.
Perhaps this can be an issue with the web browser or website server. If we are sure that the website is working fine, but our browser is clogged with too much cache, then a hard refresh often helps.
Yesterday when I was using Instagram on my computer, the feed was not loading after several attempts. It wasn’t enjoyable, and I thought of resolving it.
The chrome refresh page will typically try downloading the new files and deleting the existing data from the browser cache. This is the most common issue for websites not responding or displaying the same old pages.
Hard Refresh and Reload
If your website page is not refreshed even after multiple reloads, then the only option is to refresh the chrome page. It will delete all the cache files stored in the browser and re-download new data.
Here are the simple steps on how to refresh a page on a chrome computer:
- Launch the Google Chrome browser on your computer.
- Open the Website that you to refresh hard.
- Press and hold the keyboard’s Ctrl (Windows/Linux) or Cmd (mac) button.
- Hit on Reload
on the browser next to the URL bar.
This will completely refresh the page chrome and help load the new assets and files from the server.
The data stored in the browser cache, images, static assets, etc., are deleted. The browser will request new files from the server, giving a cleaner experience.
If you think the Page has not refreshed the content even after using the refresh page chrome, you can try clearing the browser cache from the chrome computer.
Bottom Line: Chrome Computer Hard Refresh
If your chrome browser is slow and sluggish or displaying the same content even after modification while loading the website, remove the website cache using the hard refresh.
As mentioned, the chrome page refresh will delete all the static files stored in the browser and re-download new files from the server. After I use the chrome page refresh, my Instagram feed will load immediately, providing me with fresh content and posts. Also, the data you saved on the site will get erased as soon as your hard refresh the Page.
Similarly, you can also hard reload on the chrome android browser with a single tap on the reload button. This will delete the cache and new files on the browser.
