how to make sure my browser has loaded most recent page from business website
I have searched an item at an on-line retailer. Price shows on sale. I go to the store, no sale. Person at store suggests I have to clear cache to somehow prevent my browser from reloading an "old" page, which apparently happens a lot on smartphones, etc. to save on data usage.
How do I get most recent "version" of their page with that item on it or are they to blame??
Thx!

Thanks to both of you.
So, once I have cleared the cache, then I reopen the webpage, the info IS the most current, right? Normally, I should be able to hold a business accountable to what I am now seeing on their site, correct?
Thanks again! All the best.
Glad to help. Safe Surfing.
