Caching, Not Refreshing, Cha,cha,cha...

[alight]

Some title and description, huh?

 

When my domain finally propagated to my address here, I deleted the original and uploaded a new index page ..... but the old one still appears.

 

What do I need to do to get pages to expire immediately?

 

Thanks in advance for your help.

You can place a header ( ) saying not to cache the page, but it's too late to do that now (you'd have to have done it on the old page). If it's cached at the browser level, there's not much you can do -- it's basically under the user's control. Most browsers' default setting is to check for a new version of a page either every session or every day, so it shouldn't be a long wait in most cases.

 

OR...... do you mean you are still getting directed to your old site at another provider?

I used that header and the header that sets the content to expire immediately. Didn't do a thing.

Alight,

 

Whats your URL?

 

And what should it look like? Silly question, you haven't accidently put the index page elsewhere by mistake have you?
