CSS changes are not reflected even after changing version, hard refresh and clearing cache












1














I have an angular application with CSS in it.I have recently changed the CSS and deployed it on server but it is not getting reflected in the client machines.



I have done the following things:




  1. Clear cache and did a hard refresh (Ctrl+f5).

  2. Changed the version number of the CSS file and redeployed it.

  3. Opened developer tools and disabled Cache and reloaded.

  4. Pressed F12, go to source and checked the CSS file if new changes are getting loaded. New changes are there.


When I opened the web application in a new machine, the new changes are getting reflected.



When can be the possible reason for CSS not getting reflected even after checking all the above. Is there anything which I'm missing. Any help is highly appreciated.Thanks

  • When you deploy to your server, are you sure the old webapp files are deleted?

  • @Carsten, yes , I delete the old files before deploying

  • "Changed the version number of the CSS file and redeployed it" -> are you pointing to the new version number?

  • @Carsten , yes, by version I mean I have added ?ver=1.2 at the end

is it a PWA (progressive web app)... ? in which case the data is served by service worker and not freshly fetched.



Go to




  • Chrome developer tools (press F12)...

  • Click on Application tab on

  • the left navigation, click on "Service workers" and 'unregister"
    service workers...

  • going on the next option in the left navigation, click on "Clear storage"...

  • click on the "Clear site data" button on the right zone restart Chrome and check with Ctrl+shift+R


if you're using a CDN, you may have to purge the cache for this particular CSS file from there as well.
