Refresh the web page !

Usually the downloaded pages are stored on the hard disk of your computer, in the "cache memory”. If you visit the same site later, the computer does not download the page from the server but simply takes the stored page. This method gives you the illusion of having a fast computer but the danger is great that you have an outdated version of the desired page. To be sure you have the latest version, it is advisable to force the computer to re-download the requested page. This can be done by hitting the appropriate key or clicking on the appropriate symbol:

Chrome F5
Firefox F5
Internet Explorer F5
Opera F5     or     CtrlR
Safari F5
