Website is displaying an old version on random PC's

[crazycat]

This is a very strange problem I am experiencing. On my mac, in all browsers, my site is displaying correctly. On most PC's in Chrome & Firefox, it is displaying correctly. On other PC's, I am getting the first screen shot, when the second screen shot is what it is built to look like. The first image, is of an old version, in the beginning stages. It has been suggested that perhaps an old version of cache is being stored somewhere along the trace route and hops. This only happens on sporadic PC's, but it is a very large problem. Can anyone help?

Add a cache buster to your assets to see if that helps.

<link href="/css/style.css" rel="stylesheet">

Would become:

<link href="/css/app.css?v=2" rel="stylesheet">

notice ?v=2

 

This confuses the browser into thinking it is a new file and forces it to re-download the stylesheet.

 

If this works then yes it confirms it is the cache causing problems for you.

Try clearing the cache in the browser of the affected computers.

 

For Chrome, a hard reload might fix your issue ( ctrl+shift+R ). Alternatively, clear the browsing data ( ctrl+shift+del )

 

For other browsers, check out this fairly comprehensive page: https://kb.iu.edu/d/ahic#desktop

This is unlikely as the only time a website is loaded from cache is when your computer has loaded the website previously and has stored a copy locally.

Is it screen size dependant? using css properties that aren't catching on that specific brower?

 

Try the cache busting options posted above first but if the problem remains it may be something to do with the styles specified in stylesheet.
