How to update files on the client if it has changed on the server?

Question

caching

When I upload files to the server and go to the site, the site (html, css, js and media files) is updated only after a refresh.

Answer 1

Oh, how many options there are. For example, you have caching enabled in your server settings, you can see it in the browser console in the headers. Or some other add-ons are used, for example, there is a generator of static pages and they are given. Or there is memcached\redis\software for caching parts of the site and the site logic is set up cunningly. No one knows what you have there :)

Answer 2

try gulp

Answer 3

If files should not be cached, you can configure this in htaccess for certain types of media files, or simply add the ?t=Time in milliseconds parameter to the download link for files that should not be cached, for example.
