How to complete a hard refresh of your browser

 ❓ What is this?

Use the developer tools to complete a hard refresh of your browser.

💡 Why is it helpful?

Some bugs in Guru are caused by caching issues in your browser. A hard refresh clears your browser cache for a specific page, which forces it to load the most recent version of that page.

STEPS

  1. Launch Guru's web app in a Chrome browser.
  2. Navigate to the page that's causing you trouble. Right-click on the page and select Inspect to open the developer tools.
  3. Right click on the refresh button and select Empty Cache and Hard Refresh.
  4. Done! This will completely clear this web page's cache and hard reload the page.

TIPS

There are also two easy hotkey commands you can use:

  1. Cmd+Shift+R for Chrome on Macs
  2. Ctrl+F5 on Chrome on Windows
