About Prevent Browser Caching
This plugin allows frontend developers to easily clear browser cache for all users by automatically or manually updating the assets version of CSS and JS files. This means that you can show the latest changes on the site without asking the client to clear their cache. Developers can also programmatically set the version of CSS and JS files using a simple code snippet.Screenshots
Frequently asked questions
What does the Prevent Browser Caching plugin do?

How does the plugin prevent browser caching?
The plugin adds a unique number to the 'ver' parameter in the URL of CSS and JS files. This ensures that browsers recognize the files as new and do not use cached versions.
