Browser Cache and Refreshing Webpages
Have you ever tried to refresh a webpage and nothing changes even though you know an update was made? Normally the page will update automatically over time but that isn’t always the case. So, what’s really going on?
Every web browser has a folder where webpage files of websites you visit are downloaded and stored for future use. Icons, buttons, photos and even entire web pages are examples of items which could be saved or cached. When visiting a webpage, your browser checks to see if the files on the page already exist in the cache. If so, it will load the items from the cache instead of downloading them in order to decrease loading times. The cache may also be referred to as Temporary Internet Files.
There are some situations when bypassing your browser’s cache might be preferred. Clicking the refresh button (or hitting F5) won’t be sufficient in this case because this reloads the webpage while still using the cached files. To ensure you see the latest version of a website, you need to force the cache to check for new files. A force refresh is done by holding the Control or Shift key and hitting the F5 (Ctrl+F5, Shift+F5) key on your keyboard. Sometimes a force refresh still doesn’t work and you need to clear the cached data manually.
Let’s look at the steps for manually clearing data used for the latest version of the top 3 browsers: Internet Explorer 11, Firefox 66+ and Google Chrome.
Internet Explorer 11: First click on the gear wheel in the top right corner. Next Click on the “Safety” menu and select “Delete browsing history…” from the submenu or simply hold Control and Shift then hit the Delete key on your keyboard (Ctrl+Shift+Del). Select “Temporary Internet files and website files” from the list and select the “Delete” button. Along the bottom of the page, the browser may notify you when the browser cache is cleared.
Firefox 66 or above: Start by clicking on the three dashes button in the top right corner or select options from the Tools menu. Select the “Privacy & Security” button on the left then scroll down to the “Clear Data…” button in the Cookies and Site Data Section. Make sure “Cached Web Content” is selected and click the “Clear” button.
Google Chrome: First click on the three dots in the top right corner and click on “Settings” in the menu. Scroll to the bottom and expand the advanced options. Scroll down to the “Privacy and security” section and select the “Clear Browsing Data” button. A window will open allowing you to choose which items to clear. Set the “Time Range” to All time. Make sure “Cached images and files” is selected and then click the “Clear data” button at the bottom.
If you were successful in deleting your browser cache you can click refresh on your webpage and the latest data will be downloaded to your cache.

NACo Releases Affordable Housing Toolkit for Counties
The National Association of Counties (NACo) released an
Affordable Housing Toolkit for Counties
, the culmination of a series of reports on housing affordability developed over the past year. The toolkit pulls together resources, key takeaways and county examples from NACo's four previous reports to present county leaders with the various county-level tools available to increase housing affordability in their communities.
The toolkit outlines the county role in housing affordability and features four sections describing various types of solutions that county governments may be able to implement, depending on their jurisdiction and authority:
- Inter-Jurisdictional Partnerships
- Funding and Financing
- Planning and Zoning
- Advocacy Resources
The toolkit also features an analysis of housing affordability across the nation at the county level, which includes new county-level housing affordability profiles available on
NACo's County Explorer
