Your browser saves bandwidth by saving parts of web pages, usually to your hard drive, in a system known as cache. This ensures that identical content is downloaded only once. Sometimes, strange website behavior can make it necessary to bypass this cache, forcing your browser to re-download a web page's complete content.
When you encounter strange behavior, first try bypassing your cache. In most cases you can use the simple instructions shown to the right, or see the complete browser-specific instructions below. If this is not enough, you can try performing a "purge" of Wikipedia's server cache (see instructions below). If problems persist, report them at Wikipedia:Village pump (technical).
In unusual circumstances, it may be worth clearing the entire cache.

[hide]Bypassing cache
Internet Explorer
Use one of the following:
- Hold the Ctrl key and press the F5 key.
- Hold the Ctrl key and click the "Refresh" button on the toolbar.
Google Chrome
On Windows, use one of the following:
- Hold the Ctrl key and press the F5 key.
- Hold the ⇧ Shift key and press the F5 key.
- Hold the ⇧ Shift key and click the Reload button on the navigation toolbar.
- Hold the Ctrl key and click the Reload button on the navigation toolbar.
On Mac OS X:
- Hold the ⌘ Cmd key and press the R key.
On Linux:
- Hold the Ctrl key and press the F5 key.
In Firefox, SeaMonkey, Netscape 6, and others, use one of the following:

Safari
For version 4 and newer:
- Hold down the ⇧ Shift key and click the Reload toolbar button.
For version 3 and older:
- Hold down the ⌘ Cmd key and press R. This kind of "regular" reload will usually bypass the cache.
Note that Apple claims that clicking the "Reload" toolbar button has the same effect as ⌘ Cmd+R, but this is not true; frequently the button will not bypass the cache.

- Hold the ⇧ Shift key and click the Reload button on the navigation toolbar.
- Hold the Ctrl key and click the Reload button on the navigation toolbar.

Konqueror
- Press F5 or click the "Reload" button on the toolbar.
Unlike other browsers, Konqueror seems to bypass its cache whenever you reload a page.

Purging Wikipedia's server cache
The Wikimedia servers cache a version of articles. When improperly displayed content is contained in a template or other transcluded page, bypassing your own cache might not be enough. You may need topurge the server cache of old page versions.
The server can be instructed to refresh its cache of a page's contents with the action=purge web address parameter. Add this to the end of the address. For example, to purge this page, visit one of the following:
- //en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Bypass_your_cache&action=purge
- //en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Bypass_your_cache?action=purge
For pages you think may need to be purged on a regular basis, include {{purge}}, which provides readers with an easily-accessible purge link. Don't put this on article space pages.
