How to Hard-Reload Think Crew

If you’re experiencing issues with Think Crew where you seem to be viewing an outdated version of the site, your browser may be loading a cached version. This article will guide you through performing a “hard reload” to clear your browser’s cache and ensure you’re viewing the most recent version.

What is a Hard Reload? #

A hard reload forces your browser to discard its cached version of a website and download all resources (images, scripts, stylesheets) fresh from the server. This is different from a standard refresh, which may use cached elements.

   • Alternatively: Hold Ctrl and click the refresh button
   • Or: Hold Ctrl + Shift and press R

Additional Solutions #

1. Clear your entire browser cache:
   • Chrome/Edge: Settings > Privacy and security > Clear browsing data
   • Firefox: Options > Privacy & Security > Cookies and Site Data > Clear Data
   • Safari: Preferences > Privacy > Manage Website Data > Remove All
2. Try incognito/private browsing mode:
