Cache issue - Latest version not visible until hard-refresh

Hello,

Question:
Is there any way to force the browser fetch the latest version on every load / refresh?
Any script / any setting?

Background:
We were showing the Sticky Bar for 7 days with different content everyday - however there were users, especially on Google Chrome, who were not getting the latest version until they hard refresh their browser page.
I could explain this to local users, but there was no way I can explain to the end customers.
I believe there must be some customers who were still getting the old versions on their browsers.

Hi, there seem to be Meta params which tell the browser how to handle your page.

You can add them to the head section by using the JavaScript manager:

<meta http-equiv=“Pragma” content=”no-cache”>
<meta http-equiv=“Expires” content=”-1″>
<meta http-equiv=“CACHE-CONTROL” content=”NO-CACHE”>

As written in the article, this has an impact on second visits (making them slower that with cache).

Let us know if it has worked…
