Setting Cache and Page Refresh For faster performance, most web
browsers cache web pages. If a page is cached, an image of the web
page is stored locally. When you navigate to a page that has already
been viewed, the browser will load the page from its cache rather than
loading it from the network.
Usually, this process works well for static web pages. However, this
process may cause problems for 'dynamically' changing web pages. This
problem may occur when you are navigating using the browser’s
forward/back/refresh options.
Doing this usually causes the browser to first look in its cache to see if
the page exists. If the page is cached, the browser displays the page from
the cache instead of going to the network to update changes. Since
instrument web pages are dynamic in nature, the cache may contain
content that is outdated. If you see a problem where dynamic pages are
not being updated automatically, the browser should be instructed to
check for newer versions of a web page on every page visit.
