Welcome

Modern day browsers nowadays cache every front end resource like javascript or CSS style sheets. They primarily do this to increase the website performance. But this can be really irritating since sometimes the browser needs to update this info -- because if it doesn't, then you'll experrience problems such as loggging in and or see old information rather than updated informations. The only way to see the changes is by doing a hard refresh or clear the cache of the browser.

A hard refresh is a way of clearing the browser’s cache for a specific page, to force it to load the most recent version of a page. Sometimes, when changes are made to the website, they don’t register immediately due to caching. A hard refresh will usually fix this, though occasionally completely clearing the cache is necessary.
