Thats NOT what title says.
This is wrong. Setting this to “Never” means IE will never check if there is a newer version of the page, making your first visit to the webpage permanently set in the cache.
The setting needs to be “every time I visit the webpage” so IE always checks if there’s new content, disabling the cached content.
My bad. Fixed it Josh. Thanks for pointing that out.
nice small guide. But at least insert a new screenshot with the correct setting selected – this is just confusing.
As lZap says this is not entirely what the title says, but IE is not your techincal browser so this is a close as it gets with out getting your hands dirty in the registry.

The same information shown on a different site. Look how simple the site is build and how easy you find what you are looking for. no huge ad blocks or big “read this also” blocks.

This is not reliable; you can also hot F12, and then do a Ctrl D and Ctrl R saying yes to both. This too is not reliable, keeping my thoughts to myself. If all above fails then launch the command shell and do an “/iisreset”, this is reliable and stinks.
