What’s the difference between F5 refresh and Shift+F5 in a web browser?
F5 refresh reloads the current page from the browser cache, which means it may display content that is already saved in memory without requesting fresh data from the server. It reloads the page as it is, possibly using outdated resources if the cache is not cleared.
Shift+F5, also known as a “hard refresh,” forces the browser to reload the page by ignoring the cache and requesting all resources (HTML, CSS, JavaScript, images) from the server. This ensures that you see the most up-to-date version of the page, bypassing any cached data.
