Of cause everybody else but me knows ... ;)

But I can not figure out how to force any of my browsers - FULL AUTOMATICALLY meaning WITHOUT ACTIVATING F5 - to respect that just moments ago I have uploaded some changes to eg that (X5) homepage I used during the last month. 

WHAT is to be typed WHERE in (any version of) the X5-backend?

Thanks

Holger

You can use privacy mode, this will disable the internal buffering.

Or set the internal buffering of your browser off or to zero. These setting all are dependend of the browser brand and version, but it usally can be set in the options menu.

Be aware, it will slow down your pc when surfing on internet.

Hello Andre,

Thanks a lot ... that helps me a lot when working with my content.

BUT the real thing / problem arrives when I'm finished with my content e.g. this month new offer on the homepage ... we have to be sure that the browsers of the external users are forced to recognize / respect the sites new content.

Please give me a clue that will solve THAT challenge.

when you keep cheking your page, cach of the page needs to be refreshed, but your client are not checking your website every minutes!

they will see the updated one.

This depends on the pc of your visitor. Refreshing is difficult from the website it self.

But usually it opens fine. The pc is checking date and changes and usally picks up with no problem on changes.

I realy should not worry about this.

Thanks again ... both of you.

Your answers are very human ... interesting ... BUT

There have to be more official and conserning descriptions ...

E.g. for changing the January month advertisement to the one for February ... from one day to the other?

Holger they will see it trust me! even one overnight shut down will do the job!

like I said when you design you keep checking it, its like evey minutes, that why you need to rebuffer to see the changes but not your visitors!

and you can not force a program in someone elses computer to do refresh, if you put a code for that, every single firewall (any brands, norton, bit diffender,etc) will block your website as a threat to that computer because of a force behavior!

if this post is the correct answer, please mark this answer as correct answer.

Anthony A. and Andre E.

In general do have faith in (almost all) people ... and you (two) in special :)

And I do have plenty of experiences of my own ... which in discussions with others have made ME aware of, that THEIR experiences of (almost) the same flow might differ a lot from mine.

Therefor I do my best, trying to listen / read very carefully ... and so I found your solution "even one overnight SHUT DOWN ..." more than VERY INTERESTING!

It is a fact, that I myself (and obvious many of my visitors) rarely SHUT DOWN my/our windows-computers. ...Many of them are on 24/7 - others are set automatically to go into SLEEP- and/or HYBERNATION-mode.
Maybe more plausible for you is, that neighter does any one here have any habbit to restart their IOS- or Android-devices!

DO YOU?!?

So maybe you now by chance have described the one main reason for that my (own and my visitors experience) differs from yours.

Ours IS, that updating the X5's
    a) (home- and other)pages
    b) advertisement
    c) .js-files
    d) version
is unpredictable / almost impossible / a mess / dangerous ...

And YES, I have made my own web-server and my 2 site-hosting companies STOP any cashing.

On the other hand ...

Someone in the Incomedia/X5-team  IS CAPABLE to reender "just now"-updated content ... e.g. this post.

That genius has the habbit to SHUT DOWN her or his workstation ... and therefor she or he has newer been aware of all X5's 'danish' problems.

BUT now so much wiser ...

He or she will return to all of us with some brand new descriptions, maybe one or two Work Arounds "flaws" like <meta name="Revisit-After" content="30 days" />

Thanks

Yours, Holger

Hello Holger,

You can also use as alternative the meta tags like here described:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1341089/using-meta-tags-to-turn-off-caching-in-all-browsers

So the browser will not cache at all the content but this will slow down the loading of the website since everytime all has to be downloaded again.

In most cases the browser automatically understands if it's necessary to load the cache or not but when you test it you load it more times than normal and this is why you need to clear the cache manually.

Many thanks!

Hello Claudio,

I've just now tried to use your links conclusion by putting ...

<METAHTTP-EQUIV="Pragma"CONTENT="no-cache">
<METAHTTP-EQUIV="Expires"CONTENT="-1">

... into www.relaxis.dk's X5' General Settings / Experts > Custom Code: Before closing the HEAD tag ... replaceing the following oneliner ...

<META HTTP-EQUIV="Expires" CONTENT="0">

... whos orgin I do not have the time to investigate.

And I must say my first impressions are AWSOME ... even the sites index.html-page was reendered correctly in the first load.

THANK YOU SO MUCH :)

I suppose it all depends on who the visitors are, and how many kb's are used to load the pages, if you use the no-chache, it would be better to just use it on the index page, and make sure that page loads as fast as possible, less than 250kb, I find mobile data services can be very slow, so pages can seem to take ages to load, even with less than 250kb, I don't think the packet system works too well with the way the mobile data ramping has been implemented, at least in Australia.
