    When I update an html web page and load it on the server and then view it, I still see the old cached page. I know I can easily F5 it, BUT other people who view the updated pages are seeing the old cached page. I’m worried that visitors to the site are getting outdated information. :( How do I insure that my updated page will be viewed correctly? How can I tell the server to use the new page? I’m so perplexed. I could sure use some help.

    html:

    Code:

    insert this in the head of your website. (this method is known for not working with internet explorer.)

    php:

    Code:

    insert this before head section of your website.

    Thanks! :D That is an easy fix. I found this site that has all kind of information I thought to share: [url]I looked it up at http://www.askapache.com/htaccess/cachi … .html#META[/url]

    I actually put this on the html page. Will I have any issues with recording stats in Google Analytics?

    <META Http-Equiv="Cache-Control" Content="no-cache">
    <META Http-Equiv="Pragma" Content="no-cache">
    <META Http-Equiv="Expires" Content="0">

    I also saw something on htaccess cache control, but I don’t understand how to us it. Can anyone shed some light on this subject?
