    Dear support,
    I am on regular basis making eg CSS changes to the site.
    However, I am always struggling to see the correct preview/view because of both server and browser cache.

    I do Clear the server cache AND start an incognito window, but it is not always enough. Then I start another browser – or 2, and then I see the changes.
    Is starting an Incognito window not the same as Clearing browser cache?

    Is there a trick to totally kick any cache away and see eg. CSS edits on the fly? It is so annoying not being able to see my changes right away.

    Best,

    Chrilles

    Hey Chrilles,
    Thanks for your question, is this because you are still creating your site or because of the nature of your site that you expect to always be making a lot of changes?
    I recommend disabling your server cache until you are done with your site, it sounds like that is the main issue.
    You can also disable your cache plugin and the Enfold Theme Options ▸ Performance ▸ JS & CSS file merging and compression if you are still struggling.

    Best regards,
    Mike

    Yes – that’s probably the best course of action – wait until the layout is finished and all the content is set.
    Only when it is time to do performance tests on the page should you go over to using these settings or activating plug-ins of this kind.

    With the browser cache, however, there is probably no good solution – apart from the one you have already mentioned.
    There used to be keyboard shortcuts that could clear the browser cache. Unfortunately, there is probably no such thing any more. Depending on the browser, it can be done via various menu items. It’s probably easier to set the browser so that it clears the cache when you close it.

    But : there are a lot of Browser Addons that will do the job by one click or ( Key Setting )
