1. Clear cache and hard reload

    - Press the F5 key or the Ctrl key and the R key together.

  2. Mac
    - Hold down the 'Shift' key and the 'Command'  key.

This keyboard shortcut performs a hard reload, which forces the browser to ignore the cached data and retrieve the latest version of the webpage from the server.
