Performing a hard refresh

A hard refresh causes the browser to re-download the contents of a page instead of building it from its cache. You should do a hard refresh when you are troubleshooting, and believe that the page you are seeing is not the latest version of the page. A hard refresh does not clear the entire browser's cache, only information related to the current page.
